The Zebrafish Information Network (ZFIN, http://zfin.org), the model organism database for zebrafish, provides the central location for curated zebrafish genetic, genomic and developmental data. Extensive data integration of mutant phenotypes, genes, expression patterns, sequences, genetic markers, morpholinos, map positions, publications and community resources facilitates the use of the zebrafish as a model for studying gene function, development, behavior and disease. Access to ZFIN data is provided via web-based query forms and through bulk data files. ZFIN is the definitive source for zebrafish gene and allele nomenclature, the zebrafish anatomical ontology (AO) and for zebrafish gene ontology (GO) annotations. ZFIN plays an active role in the development of cross-species ontologies such as the phenotypic quality ontology (PATO) and the gene ontology (GO). Recent enhancements to ZFIN include (i) a new home page and navigation bar, (ii) expanded support for genotypes and phenotypes, (iii) comprehensive phenotype annotations based on anatomical, phenotypic quality and gene ontologies, (iv) a BLAST server tightly integrated with the ZFIN database via ZFIN-specific datasets, (v) a global site search and (vi) help with hands-on resources.

YAP is a central regulator of the Hippo-YAP signaling axis, an evolutionarily conserved pathway that modulates organ growth and regeneration. Dysregulation of YAP signaling leads to uncontrolled proliferation, promoting epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and invasion in cancer metastasis. Exogenous manipulation of YAP activity at the second-to-minute timescale is an important step in studying the signaling pathway.

Pharmaceutical discharge to the environment is of concern due to its potential adverse effects on aquatic species. It is estimated that around 40% of pharmaceuticals target G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). The transforming growth factor- (TGF) shedding assay was applied to measure the antagonistic activities of pharmaceuticals against human GPCRs.

pH and peroxynitrite (ONOO) are two critical biomarkers to unveil the corresponding status of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, which are closely related to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Simultaneously monitoring pH and ONOO fluctuations in the ER and mitochondria during AD progression is pivotal for clarifying the interplay between the disorders of the two organelles and revealing AD pathogenesis. Herein, we designed and synthesized a dual-channel fluorescent probe (DCFP) to visualize pH and ONOO in the ER and mitochondria.

Background And Objectives: Friedreich's Ataxia (FRDA) is a genetic disease that affects a variety of different tissues. The disease is caused by a mutation in the gene ( which is important for the synthesis of iron-sulfur clusters. The primary pathologies of FRDA are loss of motor control and cardiomyopathy.

Introduction: The proliferation of nanoplastics (NPs) has emerged as a significant environmental concern due to their extensive use, raising concerns about potential adverse effects on human health. However, the exact impacts of NPs on the early development of hematopoietic organs remain poorly understood.
Methods: This investigation utilized fluorescence microscopy to observe the effects of various NP concentrations on the caudal vein plexus (CVP) development in zebrafish embryos.
