Journal ArticleDOI

Multispectral opto-acoustic tomography of deep-seated fluorescent proteins in vivo

TL;DR: By performing whole-body imaging of two biologically important and optically diffuse model organisms, Drosophila melanogaster pupae and adult zebrafish, the facility to resolve tissue-specific expression of eGFP and mCherrry fluorescent proteins for precise morphological and functional observations in vivo is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optimized Gal4 genetics for permanent gene expression mapping in zebrafish

TL;DR: A systematic optimization of zebrafish Gal4-UAS genetics is reported by establishing an optimized KalTA4-activator (KalTA4), which demonstrates prolonged and maintained expression by Kalooping, a technique that can be used for permanent spatiotemporal genetic fate mapping and targeted transgene expression in zebra fish.
Journal ArticleDOI

A zebrafish model of tauopathy allows in vivo imaging of neuronal cell death and drug evaluation

TL;DR: This transgenic zebrafish model may become a valuable tool for further studies of the neuropathology of dementia and be used to identify compounds targeting the TAU kinase glycogen synthase kinase 3beta (GSK3beta).
Journal ArticleDOI

Kita driven expression of oncogenic HRAS leads to early onset and highly penetrant melanoma in zebrafish.

TL;DR: In this article, the Gal4-UAS system was used to develop a zebrafish transgenic line that expressed oncogenic HRAS under the kita promoter for melanoma detection.
