Application of the MTBE-based strategy helped record the changes in metabolites and lipids linked to energy metabolism in PFOS-exposed zebrafish larvae. "The disruption of metabolites and lipids ...

An adult zebrafish heart is about 1 millimeter across, or roughly 13 times larger than the width of a human hair. But at the larval stage shown in this video, the heart is only about 250 micrometers ...

Immune cells (magenta) and cells expressing a reporter of immune stimulation (cyan), imaged in 3D in a live zebrafish larva. The cells are dynamic, and in our experiments we found that their ...

3. Impact of any genetic mutation or drug treatment is easy to see The transparent nature of zebrafish embryos and larvae allows for non-invasive observation of genetic mutations or drug effects, ...

To tackle it, the authors of a study published last week (January 16) in Cell imaged large swaths of the larval zebrafish brain as the animals decided which way to move their tails to avoid an ...

The research team screened more than 2,500 compounds, including many FDA-approved drugs, in a zebrafish larvae EPP experimental system previously described by Omary's lab. The tiny fish allow ...
