The evaluation of zebrafish cardiovascular and behavioral functions through microfluidics

Abstract This study proposed a new experimental approach for the vascular and phenotype evaluation of the non-anesthetized zebrafish with representative imaging orientations for heart, pectoral fin beating, and vasculature views by means of the designed microfluidic device through inducing the optom...
