Guided inquiry lab exercises in development and oxygen consumption using zebrafish.
Zebrafish have become a model organism in many areas of research and are now being used with more frequency in the classroom to teach important biological concepts. The two guided inquiry exercises in this article are each aimed at a different level of instruction, but each can be modified to fit the needs of many high school or college-level courses. The "Zebrafish Development and Environment"...
متن کاملS20-01 Germ cell migration in zebrafish
Primordial germ cell (PGC) migration in zebrafish is directed by the chemokine SDF-1a that activates its receptor CXCR4b. Guided PGC migration in zebrafish thus serves as a model for chemokinedirected cell migration, a process that is relevant for a wide range of events in development, homeostasis and disease. We show that during their migration PGCs generate bleb-like protrusions that are powe...
متن کاملAttraction rules: germ cell migration in zebrafish.
The migration of zebrafish primordial germ cell towards the region where the gonad develops is guided by the chemokine SDF-1a. Recent studies show that soon after their specification, the cells undergo a series of morphological alterations before they become motile and are able to respond to attractive cues. As migratory cells, primordial germ cells move towards their target while correcting th...
متن کاملChemokine signaling regulates sensory cell migration in zebrafish.
Chemokines play an important role in the migration of a variety of cells during development. Recent investigations have begun to elucidate the importance of chemokine signaling within the developing nervous system. To better appreciate the neural function of chemokines in vivo, the role of signaling by SDF-1 through its CXCR4 receptor was analyzed in zebrafish. The SDF-1-CXCR4 expression patter...
متن کاملChemokine-guided cell migration and motility in zebrafish development.
Chemokines are vertebrate-specific, structurally related proteins that function primarily in controlling cell movements by activating specific 7-transmembrane receptors. Chemokines play critical roles in a large number of biological processes and are also involved in a range of pathological conditions. For these reasons, chemokines are at the focus of studies in developmental biology and of cli...
