What Makes Zebrafish a Good Model for Human Toxicity Studies?
Zebrafish possess several physiological and anatomical features that resemble those of humans, including a functioning cardiovascular system, liver, and nervous system. This similarity allows researchers to extrapolate findings from zebrafish studies to potential human outcomes. Additionally, zebrafish embryos can absorb chemicals directly from their environment, making them an excellent model for studying waterborne toxicants and understanding potential impacts on human health.
