An In Vivo Method to Quantify Lymphangiogenesis in Zebrafish
BACKGROUND Lymphangiogenesis is a highly regulated process involved in the pathogenesis of disease. Current in vivo models to assess lymphangiogenesis are largely unphysiologic. The zebrafish is a powerful model system for studying development, due to its rapid growth and transparency during early stages of life. Identification of a network of trunk lymphatic capillaries in zebrafish provides a...
متن کاملosteoclast-like cells in early zebrafish embryos
objective: genes involved in bone and tissue remodelling in the vertebrates include matrix metalloproteinase-9 (mmp-9), receptor activator of necrosis factor κ-β (rank), cathepsin-k (ctsk) and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (tracp). we examine whether these markers are expressed in cells of zebrafish embryos of 1-5 days post fertilization. we also examine adult scales, which are known to c...
متن کاملStandardized echocardiographic assessment of cardiac function in normal adult zebrafish and heart disease models
The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is an increasingly popular model organism in cardiovascular research. Major insights into cardiac developmental processes have been gained by studies of embryonic zebrafish. However, the utility of zebrafish for modeling adult-onset heart disease has been limited by a lack of robust methods for in vivo evaluation of cardiac function. We established a physiological pr...
متن کاملNote on the way to quantify the pump function of the heart.
Note on the Way to Quantify the Pump Function of the Heart In an interesting article Elzinga and Westerhof (1979) have stressed the importance of assessing the performance of the heart as a pump. They suggested for this purpose an empirical approach which consists of studying the mean pressure-mean flow curve for the left ventricle, in analogy to the case of the roller pump. A theoretical point...
متن کاملHypoxia/Reoxygenation Cardiac Injury and Regeneration in Zebrafish Adult Heart
AIMS the adult zebrafish heart regenerates spontaneously after injury and has been used to study the mechanisms of cardiac repair. However, no zebrafish model is available that mimics ischemic injury in mammalian heart. We developed and characterized zebrafish cardiac injury induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) and the regeneration that followed it. METHODS AND RESULTS adult zebrafish were ...
