Zebrafish: a genetic model for vertebrate organogenesis and human disorders.
Mutations may be tolerated without noticeable effect or may present with a specific phenotype that reveals information about the function of the mutated gene. This information is an inexhaustible source for understanding biology and let us ask particular questions about the molecular mechanisms of development, degeneration and disease. The zebrafish (Danio rerio) has been proven to be instrumen...
متن کاملZebrafish as a Model to Investigate Dynamin 2-Related Diseases.
Mutations in the dynamin-2 gene (DNM2) cause autosomal dominant centronuclear myopathy (CNM) and dominant intermediate Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) neuropathy type B (CMTDIB). As the relation between these DNM2-related diseases is poorly understood, we used zebrafish to investigate the effects of two different DNM2 mutations. First we identified a new alternatively spliced zebrafish dynamin-2a mRN...
متن کاملZebrafish as a Novel Vertebrate Model To Dissect Enterococcal Pathogenesis
Enterococcus faecalis is an opportunistic pathogen responsible for a wide range of life-threatening nosocomial infections, such as septicemia, peritonitis, and endocarditis. E. faecalis infections are associated with a high mortality and substantial health care costs and cause therapeutic problems due to the intrinsic resistance of this bacterium to antibiotics. Several factors contributing to ...
متن کاملREVIEW Zebrafish as a Model Vertebrate for Investigating Chemical Toxicity
Zebrafish (Danio rerio) has been a prominent model vertebrate in a variety of biological disciplines. Substantial information gathered from developmental and genetic research, together with near-completion of the zebrafish genome project, has placed zebrafish in an attractive position for use as a toxicological model. Although still in its infancy, there is a clear potential for zebrafish to pr...
متن کاملHeadwaters of the zebrafish — emergence of a new model vertebrate
mutants have provided models of human dysmorphologies, stimulating further efforts to achieve medical insights from the zebrafish into physiology, behaviour and chemical dependency. Work with the zebrafish is also yielding insights into the relationship between single gene changes and structural adaptations that occur during the course of evolution, as well as the kinds of change in gene functi...
