Stress, the body's natural response to different types of challenges and daily problems, is an inherently harmless state ...

A new study published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature explored the effects of giving psilocybin, the psychoactive compound found in magic mushrooms, to zebrafish. Interest has developed in recent ...

A new study from USC Stem Cell scientists reveals how certain animals, such as zebrafish and lizards, can regenerate their hearing by reactivating dormant gene regulators. The discovery provides ...

Emerging contaminants from rubber tires N-(1,3-Dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD) and its oxidation product 6PPD-quinone (6PPDQ)-are raising new red flags for aquatic ecosystems. A ...

The zebrafish brain, though simpler than its human counterpart, is a complex network of neurons that engage in a ceaseless dance of electrical activity. What if this neural ballet could reveal the ...

OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - Zebrafish could help unravel the mysteries of hearing loss in humans. It’s a study underway at Creighton University that’s made possible through a $1.3 million dollar grant from ...

Research shows how the curved shape of a zebrafish egg sets cell division timing, gene activation, and early cell fate ...

Polystyrene nanoparticles disrupt red blood cell (RBC) maturation in zebrafish embryos. Nanoparticle exposure increases immature RBCs while reducing mature ones, interfering with heme synthesis.

The study demonstrates that the contralateral eye supplies critical guidance cues for axonal regrowth and behavioral recovery. These findings highlight the zebrafish as a unique model for uncovering ...
