The zebrafish Danio rerio, is an important model organism in developmental genetics,
neurophysiology and biomedicine, but little is known about its natural ecology and …

The understanding of vertebrate development has advanced considerably in recent years,
primarily due to the study of a few model organisms. The zebrafish, the newest of these …

We show that high doses of salicylates reverse hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, and
dyslipidemia in obese rodents by sensitizing insulin signaling. Activation or overexpression …

The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is now the pre-eminent vertebrate model system for clarification
of the roles of specific genes and signaling pathways in development. The zebrafish …

Mutations in the zebrafish knypek locus impair gastrulation movements of convergent
extension that narrow embryonic body and elongate it from head to tail. We demonstrate that …

Zebrafish have become a widely used model organism in developmental biology research.
In order to initiate an experimental foundation for aging studies, we have determined some …

Several genes have been implicated in heart tube formation, yet we know little about
underlying cellular mechanisms. We analyzed the cellular architecture of the migrating …

Isolated adult cardiac myocytes maintained in primary culture have been used as a model of
the adult myocardium for 20 years. With the recent advances and current interest in using …

The zebrafish one-eyed pinhead (oep) mutation disrupts embryonic development, resulting
in cyclopia and defects in endoderm, prechordal plate, and ventral neuroectoderm …

Cardiac valve formation is a complex process that involves cell signaling events between
the myocardial and endocardial layers of the heart across an elaborate extracellular matrix …
