This story appears in the September 2017 issue of National Geographic magazine. For a creature that’s less than one and a half inches long, the zebrafish (Danio rerio) looms large in biomedical ...

Because zebrafish are small and translucent ... though how it does that and how that changes neuronal and astroglia physiology as a result is still unknown. But the findings do point to a ...

These features are critical for understanding the functional aspects of zebrafish physiology, including locomotion and ...

EraCal has developed a unique platform for evaluating compounds in a whole-organism context that harnesses the multi-organ complexity of zebrafish physiology and behavior, and is readily ...

We use different techniques in our research projects. Yet, the zebrafish model joins us together. Our research interest covers a wide variety of topics, including cancer, development, disease modeling ...

The embryo of a wild type zebrafish above the embryo of banp mutant zebrafish, both four days post fertilization (dpf). The mutant embryo has smaller eyes compared to the wild type (shown with the ...

This important study examines the role of pericytes in patterning the zebrafish blood-brain barrier (BBB) and controlling its permeability. Using pdgfrb mutant zebrafish models lacking brain pericytes ...

Michael Barresi’s research interests are focused on how glial cells help wire the nervous system in the embryonic zebrafish brain. His lab discovered that astroglial cells provide a substrate for ...
