Advances in zebrafish research at Sidra Medicine are set to play a transformative role in shaping personalised medicine in ...

Scientists studying axolotls, zebrafish, and mice have uncovered a shared set of genes that may one day help humans regrow ...

When the human heart is damaged by a heart attack, stiff scar tissue eventually forms around the affected areas. This weakens ...

RIKEN researchers have determined the molecular structure of an enzyme that occurs in fish. This could shed light on molecular processes in a wide range of marine organisms. The work is published in ...

In recent years, scientists have identified hundreds of different genes associated with autism, a burst of discovery that has ...

Biologists have long puzzled over why organisms with similar numbers of protein-coding genes can differ so dramatically in ...

When a salamander loses a leg, the stump does not simply heal over. Within days, cells at the wound site begin dividing, forming a mound of tissue called a blastema that somehow knows whether to build ...

A tiny salamander that can regrow an entire limb may have just revealed one of the biggest clues yet for future human ...

A zebrafish study shows that the gene nexmifb is essential for spinal motor neuron development. Its loss reduces motor neurons and axon growth ...

There is a significant sex bias in autism, which continues even as autism in females gains more recognition in research and in the clinic. Many experts have suggested that four boys are diagnosed with ...
