pbx1, a TALE (three-amino acid loop extension) homeodomain transcription factor, is involved in a diverse range of developmental processes. We examined the expression of pbx1 during zebrafish development by in situ hybridization. pbx1 transcripts could be detected in the central nervous system and pharyngeal arches from 24 hpf onwards. In the swim bladder anlage, pbx1 was detected as early as 28 hpf, making it the earliest known marker for this organ. Morpholino-mediated gene knockdown of pbx1 revealed that the swim bladder failed to inflate, with eventual lethality occurring by 8 dpf. The knockdown of pbx1 did not perturb the expression of prdc and foxA3, with both early swim bladder markers appearing normally at 36 and 48 hpf, respectively. However, the expression of anxa5 was completely abolished by pbx1 knockdown at 60 hpf suggesting that pbx1 may be required during the late stage of swim bladder development.

Despite the close and clinically confirmed association between depression and overactive bladder, it remains unclear whether this affective disorder is a factor causing overactive bladder or whether overactive bladder is a specific symptom of psychosomatic disorders. This study examined the effects of repeated corticosterone administration on the occurrence of symptoms associated with depression and overactive bladder. Additionally, we examined whether administering TC-G 1008, an antidepressant that selectively activates the GPR39 receptor, could alleviate corticosterone-induced depression-like behavior and detrusor overactivity-related changes in cystometric measurements.

Arsenic, a known environmental pollutant with a carcinogenic risk, is associated with chronic liver toxicity. Prebiotic regulation represents an emerging dietary strategy to alleviate arsenic-induced hepatotoxicity; however, research in this area remains limited. This study employed sulfated swim bladder glycosaminoglycan (SBSG), a potential prebiotic, to assess its efficacy in mitigating arsenic-induced liver injury.

Hexafluoropropylene oxide oligomer acids (HFPOs), an emerging environmental pollutant, are increasingly utilized in the manufacture of fluorinated synthetic materials as a substitute for traditional perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), resulting in a corresponding rise in detection rates in aquatic environments, which may present inherent safety hazards to ecosystems and public health. However, few data are available on the issue of their toxicity and mechanism. This study aimed to investigate the potential toxic effects of hexafluoroepoxypropane tetrameric acid (HFPO-TeA), a typical HFPO, on the early developmental stages of zebrafish larvae.

Article Synopsis
- - Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a common issue in women, and oxidative damage is a key factor in its occurrence, highlighting the need for effective treatments.
- - The study explores the extraction of collagen peptides from sturgeon swim bladder using various methods, finding that these peptides have strong antioxidant properties and can positively impact ovarian health in POF mice.
- - The collagen peptides help improve ovarian function by enhancing follicle development and manipulating hormone levels, linked to specific signaling pathways, suggesting potential for future health product development.

As a highly sensitive vibrational technique, Raman spectroscopy (RS) can provide valuable chemical and molecular data useful to characterise animal cell types, tissues and organs. As a label-free, rapid detection method, RS has been considered a valuable asset in forensics, biology and medicine. The technique has been applied to zebrafish for various purposes, including physiological, biochemical or bioaccumulation analyses.
