Morphological and molecular evidence for functional organization along the rostrocaudal axis of the adult zebrafish intestine

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The zebrafish intestine is a simple tapered tube that is folded into three sections. However, whether the intestine is functionally similar along its length remains unknown. Thus, a systematic structural and functional characterization of the zebrafish intestine is desirable for future studies of the digestive tract and the intestinal biology and development. RESULTS: To characterize the structure and...
