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 ...

Zebrafish protein unlocks dormant genes for heart repair Date: January 2, 2025 Source: Hubrecht Institute Summary: Researchers have successfully repaired damaged mouse hearts using a protein from ...

However, the cost and time required to establish mouse animal models are high. The existing zebrafish model can solve this problem well. Zebrafish is an animal model with great application prospects ...

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 ...

KOLOA, Hawaii — Start with the patient’s chief complaint when making a differential diagnosis in uveitis, a retina specialist said at Retina 2025. “You see a new uveitis patient on your ...

The paper presents a streamlined new approach for functional validation of genes known to underlie fragile bone disorders in a relatively high throughput, using CRISPR-mediated knockouts and a number ...

In addition to the visual opsin systems of the retina (OPN1 and OPN2), there are several non-visual opsins found throughout the body tissues, including encephalopsin/panopsin (OPN3), melanopsin (OPN4) ...
