Augmenting and Assaying Nav1.1 Protein Quantity for Dravet Syndrome Therapy
ABSTRACT Dravet Syndrome (DS) is a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy predominantly caused by heterozygous loss‐of‐function variants in SCN1A, which encodes Nav1.1. Conserved upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in SCN1A were validated to regulate translation in reporter assays, demonstrating the therapeutic viability of increasing Nav1.1 from ...

Developmental ethanol exposure and its impact on behaviour and HPI axis activity of zebrafish [PDF]
Ethanol exposure during pregnancy is one of the leading causes of preventable birth defects, leading to a range of symptoms collectively known as fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD).

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

Zebrafish mitofusin-2 knockdown: a new model for CMT2A neuropathy? [PDF]
Mitofusin 2 (MFN2) is a large dynamin-like GTPase protein, located in the outer membrane of mitochondria and at the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum.

Dynamic cell rearrangements shape the cranial vascular network of developing Zebrafish embryos [PDF]
To form the complex network of endothelial tubes making up the vasculature, a number of vessels have to interact and connect to each other during development.

Therapeutic nano‐drug delivery systems interact with cellular mitochondria in a multitude of ways. While the complexity of such interactions disrupts the mitochondrial electron transport chain and increases reactive oxygen species production, thereby contributing to nanoparticle toxicity, they also present unique theranostic opportunities in diseases ...

ia2 mutant: a zebrafish model of spontaneous pancreatic carcinomas and soft-tissue sarcomas [PDF]
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is one of the most lethal of human malignancies, and, despite the advances in the understanding of the molecular events responsible for its progression, ultimate therapeutic options are lacking.

Blood flow suppresses vascular Notch signalling via dll4 and is required for angiogenesis in response to hypoxic signalling [PDF]
The contribution of blood flow to angiogenesis is incompletely understood. We examined the effect of blood flow on Notch signalling in the vasculature of zebrafish embryos, and whether blood flow regulates angiogenesis in zebrafish with constitutively up-

A spatiotemporal atlas of cerebrovascular development in zebrafish
The vertebrate brain requires precisely patterned vasculature, yet the molecular and cellular dynamics of cerebrovascular development remain incompletely understood. While single-cell studies have profiled brain vasculature, integrating these data across

Waveguide Photoactuators: Materials, Fabrication, and Applications
Waveguide photoactuators convert guided light into mechanical motion. Their tethered‐flexible design enables minimally invasive surgery and confined‐space robotics. This review aims to guide materials selection, device design, and system integration, accelerating the transition of waveguide photoactuators from laboratory prototypes to versatile ...
