摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter explains the utility of zebrafish as a model for toxicological research. Zebrafish ( Danio rerio ) have long been genetic choice vertebrate developmental biologists, it provides several advantages investigating organ and tissue development. become powerful organism molecular cellular mechanisms by which environmental chemicals disrupt normal processes. The laboratory also makes an excellent system studying processes in juvenile adult organisms, including reproductive development, carcinogenesis, aging, influence on these advent modern tools genome sequencing projects has elevated suitable to effectively study human disease pathophysiology, ushering new era comparative biology medicine. reviews mechanistic toxicology system.
