This highlights the need for careful validation of experimental techniques in the study of retinal regeneration. In contrast to mammals, zebrafish exhibit remarkable regenerative capabilities in ...

These are the cells that make up the eye of a zebrafish only about a day after fertilization. The outermost layer contains skin cells (1) that will form the skin around the eye. In the middle layer ...

One of the zebrafish families identified by the team carries a mutation in the emc1 gene, which they are initially calling the "raifteirí" (raf) zebrafish after the 18th-century blind Irish poet ...

Next, the researchers examined the role of retinoic acid, which is known to influence photoreceptor development in zebrafish. The team noted high expression of RA synthesis genes early in human ...

A: Expression of zebrafish aipl1b gene at 3 dpf (left ... gosh mutant retinas at 3 months-post-fertilization. In wild-type, retinal ganglion cell layer (GCL), inner nuclear layer (INL), inner ...

To expedite discovery of new drugs for these diseases, our group studies zebrafish retinal-degeneration models. Our lab is interested in the mechanisms that regulate neutrophil migration and ...
