High-throughput screens (HTS) of compound toxicity against cancer cells can identify thousands of potential new drug-leads. But only limited numbers of these compounds can progress to expensive and labor intensive efficacy studies in mice, creating a

Important aspects of vertebrate reproduction, such as gametogenesis, involve changes in organs found deep internally and thus not easily studied directly in most living vertebrates due to obscuring pigment and overlying tissues. Transparent lines of

We investigated the distribution ofγ-tubulin in zebrafish oocytes and embryos using epifluorescent or confocal microscopy andγ-tubulin antibodies. During meiotic maturation of zebrafish oocytes,γ-tubulin begins redistribution from oocyte ooplasm a

The zebrafish, Danio rerio, a small, tropical freshwater species native to Pakistan and India, has become a National Institutes of Health-sanctioned model organism and, due to its many advantages as an experimental vertebrate, it has garnered intense

The process of oogenesis culminates in steroid-induced oocyte maturation to produce the fertilizable egg. A quintessential biological entity, the egg is central to the production of new individuals. The result of egg fertilization by a sperm cell is

Tubulin dynamics, i.e., the interchange of polymeric and soluble forms, is important for microtubule (MTs) cellular functions, and thus plays essential roles in zebrafish oogenesis and embryogenesis. A novel finding in this study revealed that there

The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is an exquisite vertebrate model system for the study of developmental mechanisms. The unraveling of these developmental processes at the molecular level will allow design of new treatments for a myriad of diseases, includ

Ever since Edouard Van Beneden and Theodor Boveri first formally described the centrosome in the late 1800s, it has captivated cell biologists. The name clearly indicated its central importance to cell functioning, even to these early investigators.

1. Tubulins from brain and testes of the frog (genus Rana) were purified by taxol and cyclic assembly-disassembly. 2. Attempts to purify ovarian tubulins by this same method were unsuccessful. 3. Oocyte fractions isolated in microtubule-stabilizing d
