Study fishes out new role for prostaglandins
Prostaglandins ?the fat-derived compounds linked to pain, inflammation, reproduction and cancer ?can add another biological function to their extensive catalog. A new study by Vanderbilt researchers reveals that prostaglandins help choreograph the intricate cell movements during early embryonic development in zebrafish, highlighting how perturbations in this pathway might influence human d...Long-lived deep-sea fishes imperiled by technology, overfishing
Many commercially prized fish from the depths of the world's oceans are severely threatened by over-fishing and the species' ability to recover is constrained by the fishes' long lifespans and low reproductive success, a panel of experts said today at the annual meeting of the American Association of the Advancement of Science. Some of the fish species living at depths greater than 500 meters ta...Fishes microRNA Microarray from LC Sciences
Description:Microarrays designed for genome-wide microRNA expression profiling and built on the flexible and powerful Paraflo microfluidic on-chip synthesis platform. These microarrays are available as part of our comprehensive microRNA Expression Profiling Service. The Fishes microRNA Microarray contains all known fish microRNAs (234 unique mature sequences). The comprehensive...Cure For Deafness Leads Scientist To Find How Fishes Can Hear And Hum Sounds At Same Time
Researchers at Cornell University have discovered how a fish found along the West Coast can hum and hear outside // sounds at the same time!!. In an endeavor to find difficult cures for diseases can sometimes lead scientist to look the way animals of different kingdom function and in this case the understanding may eventually be able to help in finding a cure for deafness....Fishes Use Threat of Punishment in Mating Process
Australian marine scientists has found that fishes use the threat of punishment to keep would-be jumpers in the mating queue firmly in line and the social order stable. Their discovery, which has implications for the whole animal kingdom including humans, has been hailed by some of the worlds leading biologists as a must read scientific paper and published in the Proceedings of the R...
