Testing biological actions of medicinal plants from northern Vietnam on zebrafish embryos and larvae: Developmental, behavioral, and putative therapeutical effects. [PDF]
Evaluating the risks and benefits of using traditional medicinal plants is of utmost importance for a huge fraction of the human population, in particular in Northern Vietnam. Zebrafish are increasingly used as a simple vertebrate model for testing toxic

Gastrulation Screening to Identify Anti-metastasis Drugs in Zebrafish Embryos [PDF]
Few models exist that allow for rapid and effective screening of anti-metastasis drugs. Here, we present a drug screening protocol utilizing gastrulation of zebrafish embryos for identification of anti-metastasis drugs.

Stage‐by‐stage exploration of normal embryonic development in the Arabian killifish, Aphanius dispar [PDF]
Abstract Background Arabian killifish, Aphanius dispar, lives in marine coastal areas of the Middle East, as well as in streams that experience a wide range of salinities and temperatures. It has been used as a mosquito control agent and for studying the toxicities of environmental pollutants. A.

Essential Oils Produce Developmental Toxicity in Zebrafish Embryos and Cause Behavior Changes in Zebrafish Larvae [PDF]
Essential oils have gained significant popularity in various industries due to their biological properties, but their potential toxic effects on living organisms have been poorly investigated. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of lemongrass, thyme,

Morphogenesis in early development involves complex and extreme deformations in response to intra- and intercellular forces. Zebrafish epiboly, the spreading of the blastoderm to cover and engulf the large yolk cell, is a key early event that sets the ...

Gdf11 regulates left‐right asymmetry development through TGF‐β signal [PDF]
Gdf11 forms a heterodimer with Spaw, activating the activin receptor and phosphorylating Smad2/3. This process DFC proliferation, subsequently activates the expression of foxj1a and its target genes, promoting cilia formation. Abstract During the embryonic developmental stage in vertebrates, internal organs are arranged along the left–right axis ...

Epiboly generates the epidermal basal monolayer and spreads the nascent mammalian skin to enclose the embryonic body [PDF]
Epiboly is a morphogenetic process that is employed in the surface ectoderm of anamniotes during gastrulation to cover the entire embryo. We propose here that mammals also utilise this process to expand the epidermis and enclose the body cavity and ...
