Inwardly rectifying K+ (Kir) channels allow K+ to move more easily into rather than out of the
cell. They have diverse physiological functions depending on their type and their location …

The ability to control pattern formation is critical for the both the embryonic development of
complex structures as well as for the regeneration/repair of damaged or missing tissues and …

In addition to biochemical gradients and transcriptional networks, cell behavior is regulated
by endogenous bioelectrical cues originating in the activity of ion channels and pumps …

Vertebrate pigment patterns are diverse and fascinating adult traits that allow animals to
recognize conspecifics, attract mates, and avoid predators. Pigment patterns in fish are …

The reaction–diffusion system is one of the most studied nonlinear mechanisms that
generate spatially periodic structures autonomous. On the basis of many mathematical …

Colour patterns are prominent features of many animals and have important functions in
communication, such as camouflage, kin recognition and mate choice. As targets for natural …

Significant progress in the molecular investigation of endogenous bioelectric signals during
pattern formation in growing tissues has been enabled by recently developed techniques …

The regulated release of anorexigenic α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) and
orexigenic Agouti-related protein (AgRP) from discrete hypothalamic arcuate neurons onto …

Ion channels have emerged as regulators of developmental processes. In model organisms
and in people with mutations in ion channels, disruption of ion channel function can affect …

This review provides an overview of the assays that are used for measuring escape and
avoidance behavior in zebrafish, with a specific focus on zebrafish larvae during the first …
