The 2026 Franklin–Prasher–Kimmel Webinar Series is here!
A wonderful line-up of early-career researchers in zebrafish biology, organized by the Young Researcher Committee with support from the ZDMS ECI Committee.
📅 Apr 23 • Jun 25 • Sep 24 • Nov 19
#ZDMS #Zebrafish #ECR
Fluorescent microscopy image of nf1 zebrafish model. Green signals represent increased pERK levels in nf1 mutant larvae compared to wild type. Magenta signals denote decreased levels of phosphorylated ERK1/2 (pERK) in nf1 mutant larvae compared to those in wild type.
The latest #EditorsChoice is from Miller, Halloran & co @uwmadison.bsky.social as they show that inhibition of chemokine receptor (Cxcr4) signaling improves habituation learning and increases cAMP signaling in a #zebrafish model of neurofibromatosis #NF1

Join us for another Danio Zoom this Friday, April 3rd! 🐟🗣
DZ is a free event via Zoom where colleagues get together to discuss and share all things #zebrafish or #aquaticanimals in research. ⬇️
Would you like to run our Cellular Potts Model (#CPM) of neuromast regeneration in #zebrafish? It is now available in the amazing @morpheus-lab.bsky.social repository:
morpheus.gitlab.io/model/m4377/
Curious about the Science? Check our paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.jt...
This #microscopymonday image from MDI Bio Lab's Drummond lab shows cell ablation and regeneration in the pronephros of a #zebrafish. The pronephros is the first, simplest kidney that forms in zebrafish embryos. It serves as a vital model for studying human kidney development.

As part of the ZDMS cancer RIG 2026 meet up webinars, we want to encourage ECR participants to apply for the opportunity to share their research with our community, if you are doing cool cancer research using #zebrafish please apply here eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...
Help start up this new lab! #zebrafish
Great image, @matyasbl.bsky.social 🔥 Surely the #zebrafish community has more images to share 🙏 Submit the goods here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
Very cool #zebrafish disease model! 🤩 @zdmsociety.bsky.social
📢📢 My lab at the University of Arizona is opening soon and I'm RECRUITING — especially techs/specialists with interest in aquaculture or zebrafish husbandry. Please share! 🏔️ 🌵

“Importantly, we find that reduction in germ cell motility is correlated with the decay of RNA encoding for Dead end 1 (Dnd1), a conserved vertebrate RNA-binding protein that is essential for PGC migration.”
New work from @erezraz.bsky.social et al featuring #zebrafish primordial germ cells 🐟
Super congrats to Prof. Lisa Manning @syracuseu.bsky.social! #zebrafish
What legends! Additional congrats to Profs. David Grunwald @utah.edu & Ela Knapik @vanderbilt.edu! #zebrafish
A powerful new toolkit for precise genome engineering in #zebrafish.
This study from the group of Junsu Kang introduces a versatile mini golden system which allows for one-step customization of donor templates + a synthetic exon strategy enabling highly precise genome edits.

AFOG staining of an adult female zebrafish that is egg-bound. You can see the cloaca on the left with lots of collagen (blue) and villi(?). On the right, you can spot oocytes at various stages of maturation. Captured on an Evident Slide Scanner.
The #zebrafish cloaca is bizarre and beautiful, as spotted looking for something else! Here it is in an adult female stained for collagen (in blue). I should probably mark this as sensitive content, right? 🤦 #FishNotPeople
A black and white face-like image with large buggy eyes. In the middle there is a small heart-shaped structure with tendrils coloured in a variety of colours like purple, red and yellow. Credit description to Crick Institute.
Finished your PhD & looking for a Postdoc position? Intrigued by #zebrafish heart morphogenesis? Job available in the @rashmi-priya.bsky.social Lab at @crick.ac.uk (Initial 4 years funding w/ potential for 2 additional years)🐟❤️ More details: crick.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/External/job... Please share 🧪
The Gölz Lab investigates how environmental chemicals—including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)—perturb intracellular signaling networks and how these early molecular events propagate across biological scales to drive functional tissue changes and organismal phenotypes. Guided by a One Health perspective, we connect environmental exposure to mechanistic pathways relevant for human and ecosystem health. We integrate human iPSC-derived 2D systems, such as advanced 3D organoid models, and zebrafish embryo assays to dissect conserved pathways and derive mechanistic, dose-resolved effect chains.
Want to live in a quaint German town & work w/ #zebrafish toxicology models? Openings in Gölz Lab in Heidelberg!

Our superhero Neta Hart volunteered to come in to the lab and take care of our fish, no matter what, even under missile attacks.
We gave her this not-even-nearly- appropriate diploma 💪🏼🐟

#regenerativemedicine #zebrafish #heart
7 day old zebrafish embryo with green-glowing cells outlining the cardiovascular system, craniofacial muscles (faint), and the heart, with undulating blood vessels around the developing gut and glowing pectoral fins. Embryos has been imaged from below, with head facing up.
Want to observe how beautiful #devbio is?
Make more transgenic #zebrafish (ideally showing lateral plate mesoderm-derived structures, of course). 🧬🫀🐟🧪

“Crucially, we demonstrated that [thyroid hormone] acts upstream of the Notch pathway to regulate growth of the [non-skeletal peripheral edge of caudal fin].”
New work from McMenamin Lab at Boston College 🐟 #zebrafish
Excited to share our #preprint showing that #macrophages in the regenerating #zebrafish #heart are shaped by local cardiac-immune microniches, with a fibroblast-to-macrophage signal promoting regeneration over fibrotic repair www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Hehnly lab recently graduated PhD student, Favour Ononiwu's paper using #vEM on the #zebrafish Left Right Organizer is live! Check out all the cool #centrosomes and #cilia: journals.biologists.com/bio/article/...
Hi all! 👋
Looking for a plasmid with the gnrh3 promoter driving a FP (GFP or similar) 🐟
The construct itself — not a transgenic fish line.
Does anyone have it or know a lab that does? 🙏
