Fish induce production of a particular antibody in their gills in response to pathogen exposure, researchers report at the conclusion of work that could lead to improved fish vaccines for aquaculture.
A widely debated topic in biology and fisheries sciences is the role of oxygen in the growth of fish and other water-breathing animals. According to new research, developmental changes in individual ...
Researchers used powerful tech to analyse thousands of individual cells at once, considering which genes are active and how DNA is organised within each cell. The outer ears that sit on the sides of ...
The lack of a suitable flat epithelial preparation isolated directly from the freshwater fish gill has led, in recent years, to the development of cultured gill epithelia on semipermeable supports. To ...
Sharks, skates and rays are oddities among fish: They have appendages growing out of the gill arches, small cradles of bones that supports the gills. This anatomical peculiarity has led to the ...
A collaborative team of scientists recently found that there is no physiological evidence supporting a leading theory -- which involves the surface area of fish gills -- as to why many fish species ...
The outer ears that sit on the sides of your head share an unexpected genetic heritage with the gills of fish. According to research published in the journal Nature by scientists from the University ...
