Developing spinal injury treatments. This suggests that these resilient neurons, not stem cells as previously thought, are the key to regeneration. Spinal cord injuries in humans ...

Because of their special properties—heat resistance, water and grease repellence, and high durability—PFAS are used in many ...

A recent study conducted at the University of Ottawa reveals that some fish use their tastebuds to measure oxygen levels in ...

Specifically, zebrafish larvae (a freshwater fish that belongs to the minnow family) can taste oxygen levels in the water using the same cells they use to taste their food. Those same cells also ...

By studying zebrafish, an animal naturally capable of photoreceptor regeneration, the team showed that regenerated photoreceptors are as good as original ones and regain their normal function ...

Zebrafish are a powerful model system to study human development and disease. Zebrafish have several advantages: ability to rapidly generate targeted mutations; external fertilization and development ...

However, whether BCAS2 has other functions within the nucleus remains largely unknown. Here, we show that BCAS2 is essential for primitive hematopoiesis in zebrafish and mouse embryos. The activation ...
