Hemodynamic Studies for Analyzing the Teratogenic Effects of Drugs in the Zebrafish Embryo.
(
Humana Press
, 2018 , Book chapter)
Investigations of teratogenic effects of drugs generally involve testing the drug on animals and zebrafish embryo is a commonly used animal model for that purpose. In these studies, cardiovascular function of the animals ...
Generating an imagingbased approach for enhanced structural and functional analysis of zebrafish cardiovascular systems
(
HBKU Press
, 2018 , Conference Proceedings)
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have latterly become one of the leading cause of death and impairment
worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), data estimation in 2008 were about
17.3, 7.3 and 6.2 million ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Adaptation of a Mice Doppler Echocardiography Platform to Measure Cardiac Flow Velocities for Embryonic Chicken and Adult Zebrafish.
(
Frontiers Media
, 2019 , Article)
Ultrasonography is the most widely used imaging technique in cardiovascular medicine. In this technique, a piezoelectric crystal produces, sends, and receives high frequency ultrasound waves to the body to create an image ...
Effect of Water-Pipe Smoking on the Normal Development of Zebrafish
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
Background: Among all types of tobacco consumption,Water-Pipe Smoking (WPS) is the
most widely used in the Middle East and second-most in several other countries. The effect of WPS
on normal development is not yet fully ...
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 ...
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 ...
Zebrafish as a Model for Anticancer Nanomedicine Studies.
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article Review)
Nanomedicine is a new approach to fight against cancer by the development of anticancer nanoparticles (NPs) that are of high sensitivity, specificity, and targeting ability to detect cancer cells, such as the ability of ...
