Zebrafish larvae as a model to demonstrate secondary iron overload.
(
Wiley
, 2018 , Article)
Thalassemia is the most common genetically inherited blood disorder arising from a defect in hemoglobin production, resulting in ineffective erythropoiesis and severe hemolytic anemia. While transfusion therapy corrects ...
The First International Zebrafish Conference/Workshop in Qatar.
(
Mary Ann Liebert
, 2019 , Article)
A zebrafish conference/workshop was held in Qatar between April 13 and 17, 2019. The aim of the event was to promote zebrafish research in Qatar and in Middle East/Asia by bringing together local zebrafish researchers with ...
Characterization of Endothelial Cilia Distribution During Cerebral-Vascular Development in Zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(
American Heart Association
, 2018 , Article)
Objective—Endothelial cells (ECs) sense and respond to flow-induced mechanical stress, in part, via microtubule-based projections called primary cilia. However, many critical steps during vascular morphogenesis occur ...
Design and Microinjection of Morpholino Antisense Oligonucleotides and mRNA into Zebrafish Embryos to Elucidate Specific Gene Function in Heart Development
(
MyJove Corporation
, 2022 , Article)
The morpholino oligomer-based knockdown system has been used to identify the function of various gene products through loss or reduced expression. Morpholinos (MOs) have the advantage in biological stability over DNA oligos ...
Using Zebrafish for Investigating the Molecular Mechanisms of Drug-Induced Cardiotoxicity
(
Hindawi Publishing Corporation
, 2018 , Article)
Over the last decade, the zebrafish (Danio rerio) has emerged as amodel organismfor cardiovascular research.Zebrafish have several advantages over mammalian models. For instance, the experimental cost of using zebrafish ...
Resveratrol Inhibits Oxidative Stress and Prevents Mitochondrial Damage Induced by Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles in Zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(
MDPI
, 2020 , Article)
Despite their wide industrial use, Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) exhibit a high
toxic potential while concerns of their health-related risks are still present, urging additional in vivo
clarification studies. ...
Testing the Anticancer Effect of Matcha Using Zebrafish as an Animal Model
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide, and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients show the poorest prognosis and survival and the highest metastasis prevalence among all breast cancer subtypes. Matcha ...
Reduced Cardiotoxicity of Ponatinib-Loaded PLGA-PEG-PLGA Nanoparticles in Zebrafish Xenograft Model.
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are the new generation of anti-cancer drugs with high potential against cancer cells' proliferation and growth. However, TKIs are associated with severe cardiotoxicity, limiting their ...
Developmental Toxicity of Surface-Modified Gold Nanorods in the Zebrafish Model
(
American Chemical Society
, 2022 , Article)
Background: nanotechnology is one of the fastest-growing areas, and it is expected to have a substantial economic and social impact in the upcoming years. Gold particles (AuNPs) offer an opportunity for wide-ranging ...
Imatinib‑ and ponatinib‑mediated cardiotoxicity in zebrafish embryos and H9c2 cardiomyoblasts
(
Spandidos Publications
, 2024 , Article)
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) offer targeted therapy for cancers but can cause severe cardiotoxicities. Determining their dose‑dependent impact on cardiac function is required to optimize therapy and minimize adverse ...
