Zebrafish: a genetic model for hemostasis and thrombosis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Here we review the zebrafish hemostatic system, its relevance to mammalian hemostasis, and its efficacy as a vertebrate genetic model to further the understanding of hemostasis and thrombosis.

Zebrafish Thrombocytes: Functions and Origins
Platelets play an important role in mammalian hemostasis. Thrombocytes of early vertebrates are functionally equivalent to mammalian platelets. A substantial amount of research has been done to study platelet function in humans as well as in animal models. However, to date only limited functional genomic studies of platelets have been performed but are low throughput and are not cost-effective....
متن کاملHEMOSTASIS, THROMBOSIS, AND VASCULAR BIOLOGY Young thrombocytes initiate the formation of arterial thrombi in zebrafish
The zebrafish system is an excellent vertebrate genetic model to study hemostasis and thrombosis because saturation mutagenesis screens can identify novel genes that play a role in this vital physiologic pathway. To study hemostatic mutations, it is important to understand the physiology of zebrafish hemostasis and thrombosis. Previously, we identified zebrafish thrombocytes and have shown that...

متن کاملAnimal Models of Thrombosis From Zebrafish to Nonhuman Primates: Use in the Elucidation of New Pathologic Pathways and the Development of Antithrombotic Drugs.
Thrombosis is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Animal models are used to understand the pathological pathways involved in thrombosis and to test the efficacy and safety of new antithrombotic drugs. In this review, we will first describe the central role a variety of animal models of thrombosis and hemostasis has played in the development of new antiplatelet and anticoagulan...
متن کاملThrombin Generation in Zebrafish Blood.
To better understand hypercoagulability as an underlying cause for thrombosis, the leading cause of death in the Western world, new assays to study ex vivo coagulation are essential. The zebrafish is generally accepted as a good model for human hemostasis and thrombosis, as the hemostatic system proved to be similar to that in man. Their small size however, has been a hurdle for more widespread...
