Skeletal Biology and Disease Modeling in Zebrafish
Zebrafish are teleosts (bony fish) that share with mammals a common ancestor belonging to the phylum Osteichthyes, from which their endoskeletal systems have been inherited.

Development of a Zebrafish Sepsis Model for High-Throughput Drug Discovery
Sepsis is a leading cause of death worldwide. Current treatment modalities remain largely supportive. Intervention strategies focused on inhibiting specific mediators of the inflammatory host response have been largely unsuccessful, a consequence of an ...

Background Cardiomyopathy is a kind of cardiovascular diseases, which makes it more difficult for the heart to pump blood to other parts of the body, eventually leading to heart failure.

Zebrafish as a tractable model of human cardiovascular disease
Mammalian models including non‐human primates, pigs and rodents have been used extensively to study the mechanisms of cardiovascular disease. However, there is an increasing desire for alternative model systems that provide excellent scientific value ...

The zebrafish reference genome sequence and its relationship to the human genome
Zebrafish have become a popular organism for the study of vertebrate gene function. The virtually transparent embryos of this species, and the ability to accelerate genetic studies by gene knockdown or overexpression, have led to the widespread use of ...

Novel high-throughput technologies generate an unprecedented amount of data, which present a challenge for oncologists aiming to provide personalized treatment. Progress in genetic engineering and xenotransplantation in conjunction with live imaging could establish the zebrafish as one of the most versatile animal models for cancer research.

Zebrafish in Inflammasome Research [PDF]
Inflammasomes are cytosolic multiprotein complexes that regulate inflammatory responses to danger stimuli and infection, and their dysregulation is associated with an increasing number of autoinflammatory diseases. In recent years, zebrafish models of human pathologies to study inflammasome function in vivo have started to emerge.

Background Mammalian Claudin-5 is the main endothelial tight junction component maintaining blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability, while Claudin-1 and -3 seal the paracellular space of choroid plexus (CP) epithelial cells contributing to the blood ...
