The research, conducted using zebrafish – a tiny species that surprisingly shares many genetic characteristics with humans – used cutting-edge techniques to map the heart’s neural landscape.

A new fully automated in vivo screening system (AISS) has been developed to transform drug evaluation by enabling rapid, precise, and non-invasive multi-organ imaging in zebrafish. Integrating cutting ...

Nanoplastics in water hindered oxygen transport in zebrafish, underscoring their toxic impact on aquatic health.
