Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many shared pathways that govern development and also can contribute to disease. Zebrafish have traditionally been used to study vertebrate development, and from decades of work in this system, we have learned details about developmental processes, genes and pathways that are implicated in disease. In each chapter of this book, we interweave how studying zebrafish development has informed our understanding of diseases from the immune system, to the kidney, liver, heart and others. The subject matter is unique - no single volume has pulled together the theme of development and disease with zebrafish as a centerpiece Leading experts in the field - all of them running zebrafish focused labs for each chapter
