Zebrafish: The Transparent Catalyst in Life Science Breakthroughs

The use of zebrafish (Danio rerio) as a model organism has significantly advanced our understanding of developmental biology, genetics, pharmacology, and the mechanisms of disease. This vertebrate offers a unique combination of genetic similarity to humans, transparency during early development, and the ease of genetic manipulation.

Our microscopy technologies, including the Stemi 305, Axiovert 5, and Primovert, are at the forefront of this research, providing detailed, live imaging capabilities that reveal cellular and molecular processes in real-time. These tools enable researchers to observe the effects of genetic modifications, drug treatments, and environmental changes on zebrafish development and health. Moreover, our Labscope software enhances data analysis, allowing for the integration of imaging findings with genetic and biochemical data.

This synergy between advanced microscopy and the versatile zebrafish model paves the way for breakthroughs in understanding human diseases and developing new therapies. Our commitment to innovation ensures that researchers have the most sophisticated tools at their disposal to explore the complexities of life, making every discovery possible.

Focal Adhesion In Vivo

with Dr. Minna Roh-Johnson

Understanding how melanoma cells migrate requires in vivo study.

Central to the issue is focal adhesion, or how cancer cells attach to an underlying substrate. Despite years of research, the organization of these structures is still unclear.

Zebrafish earn their stripes

Dr. Roh-Johnson’s lab has developed an innovative system in zebrafish larvae that allows them to observe the formation of focal adhesion structures in highly migratory melanoma cells on the surface of the skin.

Tracking melanoma in zebrafish

They have used this system to dissect the composition and dynamics of focal adhesion structures and have identified unique properties of cancer cells in their native environments. This deeper understanding of focal adhesion formation is a positive step toward therapies to prevent it.
