1. An Investigation of The Link Between Endocrine Disruption and Developmental Neurotoxicity Induced by Environmental Pollutants : In Zebrafish Embryos
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för cell- och molekylärbiologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are known to cause endocrine disruption (ED), developmental neurotoxicity (DNT), infertility and impaired embryo development. EDCs do therefore impose a threat to humans, wildlife and the environment. READ MORE

2. Assessment of zebrafish embryo toxicity of environmentally relevant antibiotics
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologiAbstract : Antibiotics are essential drugs in modern medicine. After consumption antibiotics are excreted in unmetabolized form in the urine and reach our sewage treatment plants (STP). STP are not able to degrade all antibiotics leading to release of antibiotics into the aquatic environment. Aquatic animals are thus continuously exposed to antibiotics. READ MORE

3. Targeting the zebrafish eye using deep learning-based image segmentation
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologiAbstract : Researchers studying cardiovascular and metabolic disease in humans commonly usecomputer vision techniques to segment internal structures of the zebrafish animalmodel. However, there are no current image segmentation methods to target theeyes of the zebrafish. READ MORE

4. Development of a bacterial infection model in zebrafish embryos with special focus on colistin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologiAbstract : Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a promising model organism for immunological studies. A time window between the development of the innate and adaptive immune system makes it possible to investigate the mechanisms originating exclusively from the innate immune system. READ MORE

5. Coumarin 47 and permethrin effects on zebrafish embryos: : FET tests and behavioural challenges
University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknikAbstract : An environment is defined as polluted when contaminants are introduced within it and causeadverse effects to its ecosystem. Chemical pollutants can migrate and often affect severalenvironmental compartments: for instance, chemicals can leach from polluted soil intogroundwater, or they can evaporate and disperse into the atmosphere.
