First, they put the six human outer ear enhancers that control genes into the genome of zebrafish, and they used a fluorescent reporter gene that lit up to identify the location in the body where ...

Genetic manipulation, imaging, and drug screening are areas where zebrafish excel with the ease of introducing mutations and transgenes, the expression of fluorescent markers that can be detected in ...

"The zebrafish are transparent at their larval stage, and that allows us to quantify and visualize the porphyrin, which is fluorescent," said Ning Kuo, the first author of the study who worked ...

For instance, a novel near-infrared fluorescent probe, DCQN, has been designed to quickly and specifically visualize sulfite levels in food, living cells, and even zebrafish. This probe allows for ...

When Xiao Wang applied to faculty jobs, many of the institutions where she interviewed thought her research proposal - to ...

"The zebrafish are transparent at their larval stage, and that allows us to quantify and visualize the porphyrin, which is fluorescent," said Ning Kuo, the first author of the study who worked ...

In spawning assays, zebrafish were placed in breeding tanks ... Aquaria were maintained under fluorescent lighting on a 12 h:12 h light:dark cycle at 23 °C. Assay protocol. Before being used ...

Skeletal formation is then evaluated at 7dpf and 14dpf, first using a transgenic reporter line revealing fluorescent osteoblasts, second using alizarin-red staining of mineralized structures. In ...

More importantly, using these sensor zebrafish, we were able to obtain novel insights into the spatiotemporal properties and occurring rates of motor neuron death during early development. Sensor C3 ...

A common antihistamine may offer hope for patients with a rare genetic disease that can lead to severe liver damage and ultimately require transplantation, according to new research from Rutgers ...
