title: Molecular control of vascular development in the zebrafish.
abstract: The zebrafish is emerging as a novel model for the study of embryonic vascular development. In this review we summarize the advantages of this intriguing experimental system and the advances in our understanding of the molecular control of vascular development it has allowed.
