Study on Laser-Induced Olfactory Bulbectomy in Zebrafish as a Novel Model for Affective Syndrome Background Affective disorders, such as depression, are common mental health issues worldwide. Although rodent models have played a significant role in depression research, their cross-species applicability has limitations. Zebrafish (Danio rerio), as a...

This study explores the necessity of quickly recognizing and avoiding predators in the natural environment, which is crucial for juvenile animals due to their increased vulnerability to predators. However, it remains unclear whether neonatal vertebrates can rapidly acquire such skills and the underlying neural mechanisms. Zebrafish, a widely used m...

ALK1/Endoglin Signaling Restricts Vein Cell Size Increases in Response to Hemodynamic Cues Academic Background The normal development and function of the vascular system rely on precise regulation of blood vessel diameter. Hemodynamic cues, such as fluid shear stress (FSS), are considered critical factors in regulating vessel diameter. According to...
