Zebrafish are ideal for drug discovery especially in the context of neurological and inflammatory conditions.
Growing interest in psychedelics has spurred new research decades after hallucinogenics were tested in Saskatchewan in the 1950s. And an unassuming common fish is proving a useful test subject.
Understanding where and how memories are formed could lead to more ways to treat conditions like PTSD and addiction.
You share the same drug habits, the same age-related memory problems and are similarly impatient when forced to wait for food.
Species can evolve to tolerate higher temperatures – but there’s a ceiling beyond which adaptation isn’t possible.
Recent studies using CRISPR to fast-track genetic studies into human disease genes appear flawed.
We wanted to find out which biological phenomena are crucial for pattern formation and which are just incidental. These sorts of questions can be answered with mathematical modelling.
Are pretty blue and gold stripes more important than being a bold little swimmer?
Zebrafish are known for their black and gold stripes, but researchers are still figuring out how pigment cells interact to form these patterns.
A mathematician has joined the dots between Alan Turing and chasing cells to find out how skin patterns are formed.
Zebrafish given alcohol speed up their swimming when around other fish, compared to swimming alone. Researchers from NYU…
Our series, Animals in Research, profiles the top organisms used for science experimentation. Here, we look at Danio rerio - the zebrafish. Zebrafish are probably not the first creatures that come to mind…
In the late Devonian period, roughly 365 million years ago, fish-like creatures started venturing from shallow waters onto land. Among the various adaptations associated with the switch to land life was…
