I was today years old when I learned that there is a superb (freely available) documentary from 1961 on early zebrafish development by J.V. Durden. collection.nfb.ca/film/embryon... (1/2)

Exciting new #Zebrafish research from the #WeinsteinLab, led by Jong Park! “Specialized gas-exchange endothelium of the zebrafish gill” — www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Amazing to see red blood cells moving through the gills! Don’t forget to check out the supplemental movies ;-)

#KnowYourZDM: In 2019, a 10-year-old patient w/ a life-threatening lymphatic disorder was losing hope. Zebrafish to the rescue! Scientists created zebrafish with the same gene mutation and found a melanoma drug that fixed the fish. Then, doctors used the same drug on the patient to save his life! 🧪

Delighted to share our latest review in Nature Reviews Neuroscience! We examine the growing evidence that vascular dysfunction plays a key role in cognitive decline in ageing and dementia, and argue that preserving/restoring CBF should be central to future therapies. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

#EVBOSeminarSeries Moderated by Joanna Kalucka. Speakers: Ralf Adams and Mariona Graupera. ⏰When: Wednesday, 18th June 2025, 3PM EU time (2PM UK). Place: online. See you there! For registration evbo.org

Due to their aquatic environment, #zebrafish are perfect for small molecule drug screens. Many drugs have been repurposed for novel treatments such as COX inhibitors in leukemia & glucocorticoids in long QT syndrome. For more, read this Nature review ($): doi.org/10.1038/nrd4... #ZebrafishFunFacts 🧪

Masters of regeneration? #Zebrafish are capable of regenerating their fins, spinal cord, pancreas, skin, retina, heart, liver, brain, tendons, hair cells, & kidney. For more info on this amazing species, read this primer on regeneration: journals.biologists.com/dev/article/... #ZebrafishFunFacts 🧪

Skin T cells form stable blebs to move Read this Research Highlight showcasing work from Tanner Robertson, Anna Huttenlocher and colleagues: journals.biologists.com/dev/article/... 🎥T cells migrate with F-actin-poor leading edges in the epidermis of scale explants

Great new work led by @biomarina-vg.bsky.social on zebrafish meninges! Particularly 🤩 is the descriptions of ependymin-expressing meningeal cells (not a fibroblast!) & ablation studies showing their essential role in viability. So much more to learn! Congrats Marina & team on this great work! 🦓🐟🧠

Are postdocs the rarest species, or is it just me? We have two funded positions—apply now and join us on these exciting projects! #zebrafish #zebrafishcareers #iPSC #devbio #regeneration

Lindzon et al. report that a new zebrafish model for Charcot-Marie-Tooth 4B3 reveals brain changes, dysmyelination, and altered gene expression, providing a tool for studying therapies. Please read at: buff.ly/EOyYCHJ

Exciting ZDMS Infection and Inflammation online RIG meetups are rapidly approaching (March 26th and April 2nd). They are FREE TO ATTEND, but please do register here: www.zdmsociety.org/2025-zdms-ri...

Are you passionate about live-imaging microscopy? Do you have a special talent for working with iPSCs? Or are you simply a zebrafish aficionado? 🐟 We have 2 funded postdoctoral positions in our lab (cbi-toulouse.fr/eng/equipe-b...). Join us and apply now! Please spread the word 🙏

Are you involved w/ #zebrafish research in the UK? Since new regulations went into effect in Sept 2024, it’s been nearly impossible to import our fishy friends from abroad. Help us change that w/ this call to action! 🙏 To download templates to use in emails, visit: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/p9rra... 🧪
