During vertebrate craniofacial development, neural crest cells (NCCs) contribute much of the
cartilage, bone and connective tissue that make up the develo** head. Although the initial …

The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is now the pre-eminent vertebrate model system for clarification
of the roles of specific genes and signaling pathways in development. The zebrafish …

In a large-scale screen, we isolated mutants displaying a specific visible phenotype in
embryos or early larvae of the zebrafish, Danio rerio. Males were mutagenized with …

The zebrafish has become one of the most important model organisms to study biologial
processes in vivo. As a vertebrate that has many of the strengths of invertebrate model …

Transgenic zebrafish that express GFP under control of the T cell-specific tyrosine kinase
(lck) promoter were used to analyze critical aspects of the immune system, including …

Neural crest development involves cell-fate specification, proliferation, patterned cell
migration, survival and differentiation. Zebrafish neural crest derivatives include three …

The formation of the face and skull involves a complex series of developmental events
mediated by cells derived from the neural crest, endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm …

We examined optokinetic and optomotor responses of 450 zebrafish mutants, which were
isolated previously based on defects in organ formation, tissue patterning, pigmentation …

The neural crest (NC) is a major contributor to the vertebrate craniofacial skeleton, detailed
in model organisms through embryological and genetic approaches, most notably in chick …

The zebrafish has emerged as a powerful new vertebrate model of human disease. Initially
prominent in developmental biology, the zebrafish has now been adopted into varied fields …
