"We therefore conducted structural measurements and cell movement quantifications, focusing on the developing retina and ...
In vertebrate retinas, specialized photoreceptors responsible for color vision (cone cells) arrange themselves in patterns ...
Over time, however, this "garbage disposal" became overwhelmed by the protein aggregates, leading to cell death in the zebrafish retina. Surprising discovery.
Study identifies a signaling cascade behind retina regeneration in zebrafish. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2022 / 12 / 221220112953.htm ...
These five images, spanning 28 days, show how regeneration happens in the zebrafish retina. Rods are shown in green, regenerating cells are shown in red, and all other cells are blue.
A study of the retinal development of zebrafish larvae and the genetic switch it has identified may help understand the progression of disease and find more effective treatments for blindness.

Highlights: . Retinal degeneration causes progressive loss of vision and has no cure at present. Zebrafish possess mechanism to self-repair their retinas with restoration of vision.
While regenerative stem cells have not been identified in the adult human retina, they have been found in zebrafish. Experts at U-M Medical School are investigating how cells called Muller glial cells ...
