Transgenic zebrafish, or zebra danio (Danio rerio), have been bioengineered into a patented and trademarked brand of genetically modified (GM) fluorescent fish and marketed as “GloFish”. (Credit: ...

Fish genetically modified to glow different colors have escaped farms in Brazil and could disrupt biodiversity in the country's Atlantic Forest region. A new study published in Studies on Neotropical ...

Zebrafish are a great research model. They develop quickly and in their early stages, they remain transparent. The little fish are easy and inexpensive to raise and can reproduce more frequently and ...

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) possess novel and, often, heritable genotypes that typically would not occur without human intervention. Transgenic modifications can alter the fitness of a ...

Zebrafish lens epithelial cells were bioengineered to express fluorescent proteins mCherry-zGem and GFP-tagged histones. Early in the cell cycle, only GFP-histones are expressed, resulting in a green ...

\Environmental Health Perspectives (EHP) is a monthly peer-reviewed journal of research and news published with support from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, National ...

In recent years, many research studies have been conducted to assess the therapeutic use of nanomedicines. This is due to their enhanced stability and solubility, ability to overcome transport ...

When scientific acronyms no longer need to mean anything at all, you get ZFIN (for Zebrafish Model Organism Database?). No, no, I kid—ZFIN stands for ZebraFish Information Network, and for that I ...

Bruker's Acquifer Imaging Machine (IM) is a fully automated widefield microscope with both brightfield and fluorescence imaging capabilities. It is best suited for high-content screening (HCS) and ...
