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 ...
Impaired Liver Size and Compromised Neurobehavioral Activity are Elicited by Chitosan Nanoparticles in the Zebrafish Embryo Model
(
MDPI
, 2019 , Article)
The use of chitosan nanoparticles (ChNPs) in various biological and environmental
applications is attracting great interest. However, potential side effects related to ChNP toxicity
remain the major limitation hampering ...
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 ...
Functional characterization of human myosin-binding protein C3 variants associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy reveals exon-specific cardiac phenotypes in zebrafish model
(
Wiley
, 2020 , Article)
© 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Myosin-binding protein C 3 (MYBPC3) variants are the most common cause of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). HCM is a complex cardiac disorder due to its significant genetic and clinical ...
Ecotoxicological Assessment of Thermally- and Hydrogen-Reduced Graphene Oxide/TiO₂ Photocatalytic Nanocomposites Using the Zebrafish Embryo Model.
(
MDPI
, 2019 , Article)
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have recently attracted great interest in water pollution management. Using the zebrafish embryo model, we investigated the environmental impacts of two thermally (RGOTi)- and hydrogen ...
Nanotechnology in medicine – our experiences
(
Macedonian Pharmaceutical Association
, 2022 , Article)
The success of design criteria for long-circulating drug delivery systems to support membrane receptor-ligand interaction and internalization has been limited and there is a need to develop smarter approaches for efficient ...
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 ...
Computational Modeling of Motile Cilia-Driven Cerebrospinal Flow in the Brain Ventricles of Zebrafish Embryo.
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
Motile cilia are hair-like microscopic structures which generate directional flow to provide fluid transport in various biological processes. Ciliary beating is one of the sources of cerebrospinal flow (CSF) in brain ...
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 ...
