Abstract:
Zebrafish as a new animal model is gradually being recognized. Easy fed, growing rapidly,transparent embryo, strong reproduction, especially similar with human in gene structure, body regulation patterns, and the development of organs and disease, all those characteristics make zebrafish significant in development of vertebrate animal and human disease. This review focuses on discussing the applications of the major organs of zebrafish in the studies of developmental pediatrics.
