The newly established lab of Dr. Madalena Reimão Pinto investigates the molecular mechanisms regulating mRNA translation during zebrafish embryogenesis. As embryos develop, how do cells know how much ...

The key to understanding vertebrate development and the origins of human birth defects may lie with the fishes--that is, with the zebrafishes (Danio rerio). Using zebrafish mutants produced primarily ...

An illustration of zebrafish heart development, showing the migration of cells in the growing embryo after 17 hours, 1 day and 2 days to form the heart. Most heart cells come from the embryonic ...
