A rare killifish, Moema claudiae, thought extinct for over two decades, has been rediscovered in a small Bolivian pond. This ...

Aging and neurodegeneration are both known to disrupt the production of functional proteins in cells—a process called "proteostasis," or protein homeostasis. Brain cells in particular fall prey to ...

UC Davis research on embryonic killifish reveals new insights into the multi-generational impacts of exposure to crude oil and flame retardants. (Bryan Clark, U.S. EPA) A tiny fish with transparent ...

Annual killifish, including the turquoise and African species, represent a compelling model for evolutionary biology due to their unique life cycle and rapid development. Adapted to ephemeral water ...

A study on how aging impacts the brain in killifish has found that getting old selectively impairs the production of some key DNA- and RNA-binding proteins. And this change contributes to hallmarks of ...

A tiny fish with transparent embryos is helping University of California, Davis, researchers shed light on how exposure to crude oil and flame retardants can affect behavior, skeletal growth, cardiac ...

The new killifish species was discovered in the temporary wetlands of Chaco National Park, researchers said. Photo by Alonso et al. (2025) While surveying the seasonal wetlands of Argentina’s Chaco ...

A recent study published in the journal Aging sheds light on how aging interferes with the brain’s ability to produce key proteins, potentially triggering a cascade of dysfunctions that contribute to ...

A new species of seasonal killifish was discovered in Sertão do Riacho stream in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest, according to a study. Gomes, B. P., Sarmento-Soares, L. M., Martins-Pinheiro, R. F., & Leite, ...
