New tools for studying osteoarthritis genetics in zebrafish
OBJECTIVE Increasing evidence points to a strong genetic component to osteoarthritis (OA) and that certain changes that occur in osteoarthritic cartilage recapitulate the developmental process of endochondral ossification. As zebrafish are a well validated model for genetic studies and developmental biology, our objective was to establish the spatiotemporal expression pattern of a number of OA ...
متن کاملReverse genetics tools in zebrafish: a forward dive into endocrinology.
The zebrafish is a powerful genetic model organism. In recent years, zebrafish has been increasingly used to model human diseases. Due to a number of recent technological advancements, the genetic tool box is now also stocked with sophisticated transgenic and reverse genetic tools. Here, we focus on both commonly used and recently established reverse genetic and transgenic tools available in ze...
متن کاملStudying Autophagy in Zebrafish
Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved catabolic process which allows lysosomal degradation of complex cytoplasmic components into basic biomolecules that are recycled for further cellular use. Autophagy is critical for cellular homeostasis and for degradation of misfolded proteins and damaged organelles as well as intracellular pathogens. The role of autophagy in protection against age-relat...
متن کاملNew Tools for Studying the History of Science
Writing history is not an easy task. But during the past few decades historians have had access to more tools than were previously available. One of these is the computer. Since the end of World War II, and especially in the last two decades, the computer has enabled social scientists of all stripes to conduct intensive quantitative analyses of various phenomena. In fact, a school of historians...
متن کاملAdvances in osteoarthritis genetics
Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common form of arthritis, is a highly debilitating disease of the joints and can lead to severe pain and disability. There is no cure for OA. Current treatments often fail to alleviate its symptoms leading to an increased demand for joint replacement surgery. Previous epidemiological and genetic research has established that OA is a multifactorial disease with both...
