“Here, we establish interferon-Φ1 (IFNϕ1) as the primary driver of interferon signaling after zebrafish heart injury. IFNϕ1 expression is induced hours after injury and directs interferon-stimulated gene expression, which peaks at 72 hours post-injury.” New work from @james-gagnon.bsky.social 🔥

Check out our recent preprint, "Live longitudinal imaging of meningeal cerebrovascular injury and its sequelae in adult zebrafish." lnkd.in/gN7z6th4

Folks, it is finally out! Our paper on T2T assemblies of the zebrafish genome is on BioRxiv: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

“By performing longitudinal live imaging of intubated adult fish we observe vascular regrowth and immune responses to [meningeal cerebrovascular injuries] over time in the same animal with unprecedented resolution” New work from #WeinsteinLab at NIH

Save the date! The next European Zebrafish Husbandry Association Meeting #EZHAM2026 is in beautiful Napoli next October 2026! For more details, email [email protected] 🐟 🇮🇹 🍝

Applications for the 2026 Vienna BioCenter Summer School Program are now open! Please share this opportunity with talented undergrads or Masters students interested in broadening their research experience in molecular biology in the heart of Europe 🧬

Rock on, @daniobrain.bsky.social 🎉 What an honor!

Time for an #AskZebrafish for the community that everyone can help answer! What's one thing you wished someone told you about working with #zebrafish (or your favorite fish model)? We'll go first: You will get wet 🌊💯

For those interested... 🧠

In additional to state-of-the-art technologies & leading expertise, DANIO-ReCODE provides doctoral training to a new generation of ECRs interested in understanding the complex & multi-layered process of vertebrate tissue regeneration. Follow them for more fishy updates: @daniorecode.bsky.social 🐟

I have been meaning to share this so thank you Ákos for beating me to it! Very proud of the hard work from grad students Devons Mo and Catherine Palmer - they really did a deep dive into Salmonella, Listeria and Pneumo pathogenesis! Enjoy!

To learn more about this phenomena, check out the original research article (2019) by @shamipourshayan.bsky.social et al! Open-access 🔗: www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Still searching for this one! Any leads appreciated 🙏

If you’ve ever wondered why you can inject things into the yolk early and it affects the embryo, this phenomena is the reason it works! 👇 #zebrafish

🚨 New preprint alert! Our latest work from @immler.bsky.social lab 🐟🧬 Sex-specific responses of small RNAs and transposable elements to thermal stress in zebrafish germ cells #TESky #TE #piRNA #miRNA #zebrafish #DanioDigest 🔗 Read here www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... A thread 🧵...

Really happy to see this beautiful story out! Looking forward to more collaborations like this @cristinapujades.bsky.social lab! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Wonderful news! Congrats, Dr. Arinel 🎉 #PhDone

Still looking for leads!

🤩 Beautiful cover from @loicaroyer.bsky.social @merlinlange.bsky.social et al

Happy to share our new work from my graduate lab, with friends & colleagues @suewop.bsky.social, Pieter Derksen, Gary Han, Nikolas Claussen, and @streichan.bsky.social! We find that germ layers exhibit persistent, distinct flow patterns during zebrafish gastrulation. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

@sushantbangru.bsky.social and @rdiegmiller.bsky.social new review on regeneration is out in Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology. A fun piece to write and another great collaboration with @kenposs.bsky.social.

Bonkers work from Margot Kossman Williams Lab (their third preprint in two months) 🐟 “Consensus clustering of temporally dynamic genes identified 20 gene clusters, termed chrono-constitutive modules (CCMs), that maintain distinct schedules of expression regardless of tissue type.”

Fantastic program (with or without fish), for those considering graduate school!

For those interested!

#ZebrafishFunFacts: Known to hobbyists as the leopard Danio, TL or Tüpfel longfin #zebrafish consist of two alleles (leo and lof). leo is a gap junction protein (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles...), while lof is caused by upregulation of a K+ channel (journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...). 🧪 1/2
