Zebrafish Embryo Xenograft and Metastasis Assay by Ilkka Paatero et al.

Xenograft models, and in particular the mouse xenograft model, where human cancer cells are transplanted into immunocompromised mice, have been used extensively in cancer studies. Although these models have contributed enormously to our understanding of cancer biology, the zebrafish xenograft…

Integrin adhesion complexes by Megan R Chastney et al.

Tissue architecture and function are orchestrated by an intricate repertoire of cellular adhesion and signalling receptors, and by the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM). The essential role of cell-tissue interactions in guiding organogenesis was identified in experimental embryology studies over a…
