The research team first used network toxicology and molecular docking to predict nicotine’s most likely neurotoxic targets, identifying six core proteins. They then exposed zebrafish larvae—a model ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
