Zebrafish have the rare ability to regenerate their heart muscle after major damage, unlike humans. Researchers have now ...

In early development, there was an overgrowth of the atrium in relation to the ventricle, which was due to an increase in heart-cell division.

BACKGROUND: Neurodevelopmental and functional impairments are among the most consequential morbidities for survivors of ...

Additionally, scientists often conduct experiments with zebrafish, which have unique regenerative abilities. In the newest study, scientists looked at the progression of heart development in zebrafish ...

In a zebrafish, blood travels from the body to the sinus venosus chamber, which passes it along to the atrium. The atrium then pumps the blood to the ventricle. The ventricle produces very strong ...

They discovered that the protein Hmga1 plays a key role in heart regeneration in zebrafish. In mice, this protein was able to restore the heart by activating dormant repair genes without causing ...

The zebrafish embryo is not only transparent, but it develops outside the mother’s body, providing an open window on vertebrate development. Stainier’s team could easily detect heart valve defects in ...

Ampatzis’s team mapped the exact composition, organization, and function of neurons in the IcNS using zebrafish as an animal model. “The heart of the zebrafish is closer to that of humans than ...

This is a tissue sample from a zebrafish heart and its surrounding tissues. The golden strands are the muscle cells (1) that make up the ventricle of its heart. The surrounding blue dots are the ...

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 ...

Now, in a study in zebrafish and human heart muscle cells, researchers show that a tiny deletion in the A-band of titin — the loss of just nine amino acids out of more than 27,000 to 35,000 amino ...

Scientists have shown for the first time that the blueprint for the four chambers of the human heart exists in the humble zebrafish.
