A transparent zebrafish will allow scientists to study the spread of cancer and other biological phenomena. Image courtesy of Richard White Zebrafish embryos are a staple of developmental biology: the ...

Scientists have created a transparent fish that lets them see through its skin to watch the progression of disease in real time. The fish, a breed Zebrafish named Casper, has granted researchers ...

They could be the tiniest heroes in the war against cancer. Transparent fish with human-like genes are allowing scientists to solve the mystery of how cancer grows and spreads. Tanks at Harvard ...

A tiny fish may show how stem cells change into organs, tissues. June 3, 2010 — -- Scientists are a step closer to unraveling one of the greatest mysteries of the biological world: how stem cells ...

(Feb. 7, 2008) — Zebrafish are genetically similar to humans and are good models for human biology and disease. Now, researchers at Children's Hospital Boston have created a zebrafish that is ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- The natural transparency of young zebrafish has allowed neuroscientists to use light, much like we use a remote control, to turn on and off neurons that may be responsible for how we ...

This spring, White and his colleagues announced that they had bred a new, see-through, zebrafish. The animals’ transparent skin gives scientists a clear view of developmental processes, such as tumor ...

For in vivo studies of internal processes in an organism, body pigmentation is a considerable limitation. To circumvent this, various transparent fish models have already been generated, and are used ...
