Hinton, David E.; Wakamatsu, Yuko; Ozato, Kenjiro; Kashiwada, Shosaku
- Abstract
A conference paper about results of in situ and vital studies on liver development, metamorphosis and formation of adult vascular elements in medaka. These studies were facilitated by use of the see-through medaka, a vertebrate model with a transparent body throughout life. Pigment interference is not a problem in this model. Medaka are being utilized to examine endocrine disruptors, liver carcinogenesis and the efficiency of waste water treatment and reuse systems.
