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 ...

In A Nutshell Egg geometry drives development: The curved shape of a zebrafish egg causes unequal cell divisions, creating larger cells near the animal pole and smaller cells at the margin—a size ...

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.

Cell division is an essential process for all life on Earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early embryonic development have remained elusive—particularly for egg-laying species ...

"Zebrahub" is an atlas of cells in developing zebrafish embryos, and scientists say it will help us learn about our own biology, too. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires precise coordination; otherwise, the embryo could develop serious complications ...

Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...

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 in Georgetown University’s Glasgow Lab are using zebrafish as a model to investigate treatments for cancer and aging-related disorders. The lab’s research focuses on using the small fish ...

Can a single protein-encoding gene determine whether a vertebrate embryo develops normally? Yes, according to Osaka Metropolitan University researchers, who found that suppression of Pcdh8 is ...
