A new study from USC Stem Cell scientists reveals how certain animals, such as zebrafish and lizards, can regenerate their hearing by reactivating dormant gene regulators. The discovery provides ...

As the opioid epidemic sweeps through America, scientists are scrambling to understand its addictive power in hopes of developing new treatment methods. In the process, they discovered that zebrafish ...

The zebrafish brain, though simpler than its human counterpart, is a complex network of neurons that engage in a ceaseless dance of electrical activity. What if this neural ballet could reveal the ...

In science, how you ask a question is often as important as what you ask. Philipp Niethammer, PhD The lab of cell biologist Philipp Niethammer, PhD, of the Sloan Kettering Institute at Memorial Sloan ...

CORVALLIS, Ore. (KTVZ) – An Oregon State University toxicologist has received a $7 million grant to study the biological impacts of chemicals, which could potentially lead to reducing or eliminating ...

Researchers studying zebrafish have found that genes linked to autism spectrum disorder and other developmental brain abnormalities may be playing a role in people who cannot control their eye ...

Molecular developmental biologists used zebrafish embryos to study a gene mutation that causes scoliosis, a sideways curvature of the spine that typically occurs in humans just before puberty. Popular ...

In zebrafish, decreased levels of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) cue the retina, the light-sensing tissue in the back of the eye, to produce stem cells. This finding sheds light ...

Findings from an Oregon State University study into the effects of radiofrequency radiation generated by the wireless technology that will soon be the standard for cell phones suggest few health ...
