Beautiful work, congrats, Jacky and team!

ICYMI from @clot1.bsky.social 🩸🐟

Really cool #zebrafish paper 🧪 from Bart Weijts & Catherine Robin (Hubrecht): starts with the basic question of are those superbright kdrl/fli1a positive cells (that we've all seen in the vascular Tg lines) something special? Yes! They're lumenal macrophages www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hello, Bluesky community! ZDMS promotes the study, research & use of zebrafish disease models throughout the world while fostering diversity among the zebrafish community. We also advocate for public awareness of the importance of the field & offer informed opinions. Give us a follow, for more! 🐟👩‍🔬

Excited to share our latest work on cardiac regeneration! 🚨 Here @gulsumkayman.bsky.social identified Fibulin2 as a critical matricellular protein regulating the balance between regeneration and fibrosis. 🐟🫀 1/2 www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Saw a few papers recently in CNS injury using transgenic lines to target 'pericytes' in the CNS & broad markers that are not specific, also label fibroblasts - imprecise tools & language = assigning functions in fibrosis to pericytes when other cells like fibroblasts are primarily involved 1/4

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
