Turquoise killifish
Reichard et al. introduce the turquoise killifish (Nothobranchius furzeri), notable for its short-life span and diapause stage.
متن کاملWhole-mount Fixation and Immunostaining of Brain Tissue
Immunocytochemistry on sectioned tissue is a powerful method for determining the cellular and subcellular distributions of an epitope. However, where the expression is patterned, understanding the distribution often requires extensive, time-consuming threedimensional reconstruction with all its attendant artifacts. The techniques described in this unit circumvent these problems. The distributio...
متن کاملThe African Turquoise Killifish: A Model for Exploring Vertebrate Aging and Diseases in the Fast Lane.
Why and how organisms age remains a mystery, and it defines one of the biggest challenges in biology. Aging is also the primary risk factor for many human pathologies, such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases. Thus, manipulating the aging rate and potentially postponing the onset of these devastating diseases could have a tremendous impact on human healt...
متن کاملThe short-lived African turquoise killifish: an emerging experimental model for ageing
Human ageing is a fundamental biological process that leads to functional decay, increased risk for various diseases and, ultimately, death. Some of the basic biological mechanisms underlying human ageing are shared with other organisms; thus, animal models have been invaluable in providing key mechanistic and molecular insights into the common bases of biological ageing. In this Review, we bri...
متن کاملImmunostaining, dehydration, and clearing of mouse embryos for ultramicroscopy.
This protocol describes the preparation of mouse embryos for ultramicroscopy (UM), a powerful imaging technique that achieves precise and accurate three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions of intact macroscopic specimens with micrometer resolution. In UM, a specimen in the size range of ∼1-15 mm is illuminated perpendicular to the observation pathway by two thin counterpropagating sheets of laser ...
