Nephronectin regulates cardiac valve development via BMP4-HAS2 signaling in zebrafish

open access: yes, 2011
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

open access: yes, 2013
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.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2006
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]

open access: yes, 2012
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

open access: yes, 2010
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

open access: yes, 2012
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 ...

Sex programs functional protein level dimorphism in the zebrafish gastrointestinal tract

open access: yesAquaculture Reports
The biochemical composition and functions of non-sexual organs in male and female must be adjusted to support the distinct reproductive purposes of their sexual organs.

Analysis of genes controlling notochord development in zebrafish.

open access: yes, 2006
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]

open access: yes, 2007
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
