A team of international researchers has identified a new sex hormone that plays a crucial role in stimulating ovulation. Researchers have identified secretoneurin, a neuropeptide derived from the ...

Professor Trudeau notes, "Zebrafish are a powerful model species ... For example, which specific cells in the ovary produce secretoneurin, and what is its precise role there?

The Zebrafish Genetic and Phenotyping Core provides expertise and equipment to support your experiments with zebrafish as an in vivo model. The Core can generate zebrafish with mutations in specific ...

As a vertebrate, the zebrafish possesses many genes that perform the same or similar functions in mammals and therefore also in humans. Approximately 70 percent of zebrafish genes are also present in ...

Zebrafish are unassuming and undemanding. Almost every child knows that – at least any child that has kept fish in an aquarium. Since the beginning of the 20th century, these fish have been one of the ...

One of the predominant systems for genetic screens related to the vasculature of zebrafish was developed by scientist Brant Weinstein (Lawson & Weinstein, 2002). In this system, green fluorescent ...
