Model Organisms such as yeast, worm, fly, fish, rat, and mouse are key drivers of biological research, providing manipulable and cost-effective experimental systems that continuously yield fundamental insights into ...Posted by alebur, on 14 June 2016
Alexa Burger, Mosimann lab, Institute of Molecular Life Sciences, University of Zürich, Switzerland. When I first heard about the “new” genome editing method in early 2013 called CRISPR-Cas9, I ...Posted by Nathalie Percie du Sert, on 7 June 2016
This post was originally published as a Newsletter article from ShARM (Shared Ageing Research Models) Scientists using animals in research have a responsibility to ensure that the studies are appropriately designed, conducted, ...Posted by Hernán Andrés Morales-Navarrete, on 27 May 2016
A major challenge in cell and developmental biology is to understand the mechanisms whereby cells interact with each other to form the variety of complex tissue forms present in organisms. ...Posted by Chen-Hui Chen, on 26 April 2016
Why some vertebrates like salamanders and zebrafish are able to regenerate complex tissues while humans cannot is a question that has fascinated biologists for centuries. Understanding how and why ...Posted by IchaJaroslav, on 13 April 2016
Here you can find out more about our video protocol on using light sheet microscopy to image zebrafish eye development. Light sheet fluorescence microscopy has quickly become a popular ...Posted by han, on 22 March 2016
Developmental biologists use antibodies extensively to study the gene expression during different stages. However, there is a lack of specific antibodies against many proteins related to development. In addition, some ...Posted by Liangyu Zhang, on 19 March 2016
By Liangyu Zhang and Abby F. Dernburg The nematode Caenorhabidis elegans is among the most widely used and powerful model organisms for studying mechanisms underlying cellular and developmental processes. ...Posted by Mario Metzler, on 26 February 2016
Some time ago I wrote about a webpage I’ve created to manage genetic fly crosses. In that past post, I’ve promised a new version of the software, and I’m happy ...Posted by Clare Buckley, on 24 February 2016
By Clare Buckley and Rachel Moore One of the things that we find most challenging about working with whole vertebrate organisms is how we can tie ourselves in knots trying ...
