Nephronectin regulates cardiac valve development via BMP4-HAS2 signaling in zebrafish
It has been estimated that about 1% of live births carry severe congenital heart defects and 20-30% among them have valve malformations. Despite its medical importance the underlying cause of many valvular diseases remains undiscovered.

Circadian rhythmicity and light sensitivity of the zebrafish brain
Light is important for entraining circadian rhythms, which regulate a wide range of biological processes. Zebrafish have directly light responsive tissues (Whitmore et al 2000) and are thus a useful vertebrate model for circadian rhythmicity and light ...

Genome-wide reverse genetics framework to identify novel functions of the vertebrate secretome.
BackgroundUnderstanding the functional role(s) of the more than 20,000 proteins of the vertebrate genome is a major next step in the post-genome era. The approximately 4,000 co-translationally translocated (CTT) proteins - representing the vertebrate ...

Optophysiological analysis of pattern classification strategies in the zebrafish olfactory bulb [PDF]
Classification of overlapping activity patterns is a common problem for sensory systems. For a robust representation of sensory stimuli, neuronal circuits should generalize over input patterns reflecting variations of the same stimulus but separate ...

Junctional complexes and cell-cell signalling in zebrafish morphogenesis
Intercellular junctions are composed of tight, gap and adherens junctions and have been shown to play many roles in embryonic morphogenesis. I have been studying the role that intercellular junctions play in zebrafish development.

ALDH2 mediates 5-nitrofuran activity in multiple species
Understanding how drugs work in vivo is critical for drug design and for maximizing the potential of currently available drugs. 5-nitrofurans are a class of pro-drugs widely used to treat bacterial and trypanosome infections, but despite relative ...

Analysis of genes controlling notochord development in zebrafish.
The notochord is a vital and defining organ in vertebrates. Mutagenesis screening in zebrafish identified seven 'dwarf mutants that lack notochord development grumpy, sleepy, bashful, dopey, happy, sneezy and doc.

Short and long peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGRPs) in zebrafish, with findings of multiple PGRP homologs in teleost fish [PDF]
Peptidoglycan recognition protein (PGRP) specifically binds to peptidoglycan and is considered to be one of the pattern recognition proteins in the innate immunity of insect and mammals. Using a database mining approach and RT-PCR, multiple peptidoglycan
