Unraveling a key brain chemical, galanin, new research in fish shows it typically calms brain activity. However, stress can weaken this calming effect, leading to overactivity and seizures. This ...

Beyond genes! New research on zebrafish embryos reveals physical forces and cell stickiness are crucial for shaping the brain ...

Are recycled bottles safe? A study suggests chemical mixtures in recycled plastics might affect metabolism and hormone ...

Incredible images created by our scientists using advanced microscopes are helping to drive biological discovery ...

The zebrafish model is particularly advantageous due to its rapid organ development, which occurs significantly faster than in mammals. Within 48 hours, most organs, including the brain, can be ...

Frog embryos continue to be critical in studying embryonic brain development, shedding light on developmental disorders like autism and congenital heart defects, helping scientists uncover novel ...

Zebrahub datasets allow researchers to conduct virtual experiments examining where cells begin and end up during zebrafish embryonic development.

Zebrahub: New atlas tracks zebrafish development like never before A ‘Google Earth’ of embryology, CZ Biohub SF tool brings a new vision to developmental biology Peer-Reviewed Publication Chan ...

In zebrafish, the jamming of nuclei during eye development also results in a crystalline order of cells. In addition to the eye, the team discovered that brain tissues also experience nuclear jamming, ...

New research from the Campàs group at the Cluster of Excellence Physics of Life of TU Dresden now reveals that the cell's nucleus controls the stiffness of eye and brain tissues, and even the ordered ...
