Fish induce production of a particular antibody in their gills in response to pathogen exposure, researchers report at the conclusion of work that could lead to improved fish vaccines for aquaculture.

Researchers used powerful tech to analyse thousands of individual cells at once, considering which genes are active and how DNA is organised within each cell. The outer ears that sit on the sides of ...

A fascination with fish gills has led researchers at Cornell to develop a bio-inspired approach to mixing heat and molecules in fluids—findings that could inform future biomedical devices, heat ...

In 1878, German anatomist Karl Gegenbaur proposed a theory that fish fins and human limbs evolved from a structure that resembles gill arches, a collection of bony "loops" in fish that support the ...

The lack of a suitable flat epithelial preparation isolated directly from the freshwater fish gill has led, in recent years, to the development of cultured gill epithelia on semipermeable supports. To ...

A collaborative team of scientists recently found that there is no physiological evidence supporting a leading theory -- which involves the surface area of fish gills -- as to why many fish species ...

The outer ears that sit on the sides of your head share an unexpected genetic heritage with the gills of fish. According to research published in the journal Nature by scientists from the University ...
