For example, medaka lack a certain type of muscle cells that are present in zebrafish. "My hunch is the ancestor of all animals could regenerate its heart after an injury, and then that's been ...

The Zebrafish Muscle investigation employs the International Space Station's Aquatic Habitat, an aquarium in microgravity. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of ...

We are currently characterizing several histone modifier and RNA-splicing proteins that may affect muscle formation and maintenance in our vertebrate animal models. Generation, characterization, and ...

Weekly breeding ensures the embryo supply. So far zebrafish studies have yielded insights into cancer, diabetes, muscle diseases, and more. Elizabeth Burke, a researcher at the National Institutes ...

Zebrafish have the ability to regenerate their heart muscle cells, unlike humans. Within 60 days, a damaged zebrafish heart can fully recover its function. We don’t understand why some species ...

Michael Barresi’s research interests are focused on how glial cells help wire the nervous system in the embryonic zebrafish brain. His lab discovered that astroglial cells provide a substrate for ...
