The “Ets” Factor: Vessel Formation in Zebrafish—The Missing Link?

The Fine Detail of the Developing Vasculature of an approximately four-day-old Zebrafish Embryo Is Revealed Using Confocal Microangiography
The accessibility and optical clarity of zebrafish embryos lend a particular advantage to the study of vascular development. Fluorescent microspheres can be injected into the blood stream, penetrating the entire patent vascular system, allowing imaging of the vasculature using confocal microscopy. (Photo: B. Weinstein)
