From Manual Handling to Automation: The Future of Zebrafish Embryo Workflows
Handling zebrafish embryos may seem simple, but doing it at scale is often a real challenge. This month’s article explores how workflows are shifting toward automation to support higher throughput, better reproducibility, and streamlined research processes. Introduction Current Workflows in Zebrafish Embryo Research The Role of Automation Applications in Drug Testing, Toxicity & More Conclusions […]
Towards a future beyond animal testing?
As spring fades into summer and nature bursts into full bloom, it is a fitting time to reflect on scientific approaches that promote innovation while advancing more ethical and sustainable research practices. This past spring was filled with events and initiatives that energized the research community and accelerated the development of forward-thinking solutions. Among them, […]
Zebrafish as a model to study the toxicity of different pesticides – a case study
Since 1974, World Environment Day has been celebrated every year on 5 June, so this month we want to acknowledge this event by reviewing a scientific article where zebrafish are used to test the toxicity of certain pesticides: Toxicity of Deltamethrin to Zebrafish Gonads Revealed by Cellular Biomarkers 1, published in Journal of Marine Science […]
Morphological and phenotypic characteristics of zebrafish embryos
In our modern world, development of new synthetic compounds and chemicals is essential for many industries, such as the pharmaceutical, clothing and food industries. This has become a major public and environmental issue as many of these compounds can be toxic and detrimental to human and animal health. In addition to these artificial toxins, chemicals […]
