Scientists have traced the evolutionary origin of humans' outer ears to the gills of ancient fish through a series of ...

The study joins a growing body of research exploring how regenerative species can inspire breakthroughs in human medicine. For example, previous studies have shown how zebrafish can regenerate ...

By utilizing a protein found in zebrafish, known as Hmga1, they successfully repaired damaged mouse hearts, paving the way for potential treatments to prevent heart failure in humans. After a ...

Unlike humans, zebrafish grow new heart muscle cells: they have a regenerative capacity. When a zebrafish heart is damaged, it can fully restore its function within 60 days. "We don't understand ...

The term "omics" refers to the study of the entirety of molecular mechanisms that happen inside an organism. With the advent ...

Four zebrafish spent 43 days in orbit aboard the Tiangong space station, breaking records and advancing space biology. In ...

Zebrafish share a high degree of sequence and functional homology with mammals, including humans. Due to the conservation of cell biological and developmental processes across all vertebrates, studies ...

In 2025 six zebrafish are set to journey to China space station assisting scientists in exploring how the space environment ...

Researchers from the Hubrecht Institute and their collaborators at other institutions have used a protein from zebrafish dubbed Hmga1 which plays a key role in heart regeneration, to reactivate ...
