Abstract:The zebrafish has emerged as an excellent model for cardiovascular research thanks to its ex-utero and rapid embryonic development, its embryonic transparent nature, and its capacity to survive in the absence of a functional cardiovascular system during the first week of development, which enables functional characterization of mutations that would otherwise induce lethality in traditional murine models. The aim of this project is to identify and characterize novel genes involved in zebrafish cardiovascular de… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
