Unpredicted human safety events in clinical trials for new drugs are costly in terms of human
health and money. The drug discovery industry attempts to minimize those events with …

The results of many studies in a variety of species have significantly advanced our
understanding of the role of visual experience and the mechanisms of postnatal eye growth …

The vertebrate retina first evolved some 500 million years ago in ancestral marine
chordates. Since then, the eyes of different species have been tuned to best support their …

Microplastics have been frequently detected in both marine and freshwater ecosystems.
Their impact on aquatic organisms has raised much concern. This study investigated the …

Presently, nanotechnology is a multi-trillion dollar business sector that covers a wide range
of industries, such as medicine, electronics and chemistry. In the current era, the commercial …

The occurrence of neuroactive chemicals in the aquatic environment is on the rise and
poses a potential threat to aquatic biota of currently unpredictable outcome. In particular …

The origin of resident (noninflammatory) macrophages in vertebrate tissues is still poorly
understood. In the zebrafish embryo, we recently described a specific lineage of early …

Animal eyes have evolved to process behaviorally important visual information, but how
retinas deal with statistical asymmetries in visual space remains poorly understood. Using …

The neural basis of behavioral choice in vertebrates remains largely unknown. Zebrafish
larvae have a defined locomotor repertoire as well as a simple nervous system and are …

The increasing use of zebrafish (Danio rerio) in developmental research highlights the need
for a detailed understanding of their behavior. We studied the locomotion of individual …
