Our protocol allows us to study how tissues, such as skeletal muscle, regulate their size, which remains a key question in cell and developmental biology with important physiological and medical implications. The main advantage of our technique is

Optical clarity is a major advantage for cell biological and physiological work in zebrafish. Robust methods for measurement of cell growth in individual animals are described that permit novel insights into how growth of skeletal muscle and neighboring tissues are integrated with whole body growth.
