In multicellular organisms, effective cell-to-cell communication is crucial to enable orderly development from a single fertilized egg to a complex adult body. Cells communicate by sending each other ...

Scientists headed by a team at the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub San Francisco (CZ Biohub SF) reported on the development of Zebrahub, a dynamic, state-of-the-art atlas of zebrafish embryonic development.

Researchers confirm using zebrafish that if a certain gene is not excluded when vertebrate embryos are developing, the notochord will not elongate properly, resulting in a shortened form. Can a single ...

When early cartographers undertook perilous expeditions to map unknown corners of the world with sextants, compasses, and hand-drawn diagrams, it’s unlikely they imagined that someday anyone with an ...

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have published an atlas of zebrafish development, detailing the gene expression programs that are activated within nearly every cell type during the ...

A zebrafish embryo during the first cell division cycle, with the structural protein actin labelled, which marks the cell boundary and ingressing furrow. The image shows a time course from dark orange ...

Multicellularity is one of the most profound phenomena in biology, and relies on the ability of a single cell to reorganize ...

This white sphere on a background of forest green is the eye of an embryonic zebrafish. The eye of an adult zebrafish is about 2.3 millimeters across, or roughly nine times smaller than your thumbnail ...

A positive newborn screening for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is currently considered a medical emergency. Without early treatment, severe disability or death in infancy are likely. However, research ...
