The heartbeat is synonymous with life. It's one of the first essential functions to begin during development and to end at death. "The heart is one of the first organs to form and function during ...

In the experiments with zebrafish embryos, when this PAPC is not excluded, the cells do not move to the appropriate location, preventing the notochord from elongating to its proper length. The ...

Scientists headed by a team at the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub San Francisco (CZ Biohub SF) reported on the development of Zebrahub, a dynamic, state-of-the-art atlas of zebrafish embryonic development.

How does a tiny cluster of cells become an embryo with a head, trunk, and tail? And how do thousands of genes coordinate this development? A new imaging method makes it possible to visualize the ...

In this Peek Behind the Paper, we learn more about a recently published paper by Joaquin Abugattas-Nuñez Del Prado (Leiden University, The Netherlands; Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, Lima, Perú ...

Congenital heart defects (CHD) occur in 1 in every 100 babies born daily in the United States of America. Although CHD can be surgically repaired, it has been shown to complicate heart health with ...

Researchers confirm using zebrafish that if a certain gene is not excluded when vertebrate embryos are developing, the notochord will not elongate properly, resulting in a shortened form. Can a single ...
