The zebrafish has emerged as a premier vertebrate model to study kidney organogenesis and repair. Its simple pronephric structure, comprising two nephrons with conserved segmentation, mirrors ...

MDI Bio Lab scientists discover how the fish solves a basic challenge in regenerative biology—insights in their newest publication in the journal Development could one day guide human repair. When the ...

Researchers have published an atlas of zebrafish development, detailing the gene expression programs that are activated within nearly every cell type during the first five days of development, a ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. – A team of scientists will study if zebrafish, a popular aquarium fish whose genetic and physiological makeup is similar to humans, could unlock new treatments for kidney stones and ...

Scientists have relied on animal models as an alternative to testing on human tissues and cells for decades. But not just any organism can adequately model how human cells behave. Researchers take ...
