It happens in the first hours after fertilization: The cells of the early embryo begin to independently produce proteins, the building blocks for cells and organs. Their own, uniquely composed genetic ...

Gabby Voit at UWM studies zebrafish embryonic development to gain insights into human brain development and genetic mutations related to fertility issues. Her research could help understand ...

During the first 72 hours in particular, extracellular vesicles—nanoparticles enclosed in cell membranes—play a significant ...

Scientists headed by a team at the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub San Francisco (CZ Biohub SF) reported on the development of Zebrahub, a dynamic, state-of-the-art atlas of zebrafish embryonic development.

An international study has identified a gene that plays an important role in the development of the human embryo. If it is altered, malformations of various organ systems can result. The gene emerged ...

A cross-department collaboration headed by researchers at Harvard Medical School and Harvard University has witnessed the moment at which cells in the zebrafish embryo heart start beating in unison ...

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have published an atlas of zebrafish development, detailing the gene expression programs that are activated within nearly every cell type during the ...

A recent article demonstrated how lymphatics -- which remove waste from the rest of the body -- are also associated with microglia and brain development in zebrafish. During the embryonic stage of ...

With today's advanced microscopes, scientists can capture videos of entire embryos developing in real time. But there's a catch: turning those breathtaking images into clean, accurate trajectories of ...
