zebrafish research

Zebrafish research involves studying a small, freshwater fish often used in scientific experiments due to its transparent embryos and rapid development. Scientists use zebrafish to investigate basic biological processes, genetics, and disease mechanisms. Their similarities to human genes make them valuable in medical research, particularly for understanding developmental disorders, cancer, and drug effects. The fish’s ease of breeding and manipulation allows researchers to observe the impact of genes and treatments in real-time, contributing to advancements in genetics, medicine, and environmental sciences. Overall, zebrafish serve as an important model organism in many fields of biological research.
