Foreword by Balasubramanian
The field of marine peptide research is vast and evolving rapidly in both basic research and clinical therapeutics. When I was asked to write a foreword to this book, my immediate thought was that there are many monographs and comprehensive textbooks focusing on zebrafish model for utilizing drug discovery from marine peptides that cover a wide variety of topics at various levels of detail, so why the need for another book in this increasingly crowded field? Although quite a lot of information is available on the zebrafish model for drug discovery, the present monograph is different from the earlier as the authors provide a comprehensive information on the basic mechanisms of peptides/toxins and how these mechanisms are linked with the emergence of common, devastating pathological disorders. The authors build on current knowledge to detail the link between zebrafish model
