Please comment on this! The complexity of living systems cannot be fully recapitulated by in vitro or computational approaches alone. While advances in non-animal model technologies offer complementary tools, they lack the full physiological and developmental context of a living organism.

Four transgenic #zebrafish embryos with blood vessels in green, blood cells in red, and angiography in magenta. You can see the front half of each fish with the head, brain and eyes.

The embryos are kdrl:EGFP (green) gata1:DsRed (red) double transgenics. The magenta in some embryos is from intravascular Qdot 705 injections.
