Scientists discovered that our brains light up in a coordinated pattern several seconds before we approach someone, revealing social behavior starts long before any visible action. The strength of this brain signal also predicts how naturally social a person tends to be.
Researchers studying salamanders, zebrafish, and mice discovered two genes that control the ability to regrow limbs and organs. The breakthrough could one day help millions of amputees grow back real arms and legs.
Researchers screened 774 FDA-approved drugs using zebrafish to create a precision medicine map for autism, identifying levocarnitine as a compound that reverses brain deficits caused by specific genetic mutations. The breakthrough could help doctors match treatments to individual patients based on their unique genetic profile.
Yale researchers created a groundbreaking database of 520 FDA-approved drugs by studying tiny zebrafish, revealing potential personalized treatments for people with specific autism-related genetic mutations. One drug candidate successfully reversed disrupted behaviors in both fish and human brain cells.
University of Auckland researchers discovered a molecule that could finally offer hope to thousands living with lymphoedema, a painful swelling condition with no cure. The breakthrough works in both zebrafish and human cells, bringing real treatment one step closer.
Scientists discovered a way to use tiny zebrafish to quickly test if a newborn's genetic mutation will actually cause a deadly disease. The breakthrough helps doctors avoid giving babies unnecessary $2 million treatments while still protecting those who truly need help.
