Zebrafish exhibit this regeneration through their Müller glia (MG) cells, which act as stem cells. Upon retinal damage, MG cells re-enter the cell cycle, producing neuronal progenitors that ...

Study identifies a signaling cascade behind retina regeneration in zebrafish. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2022 / 12 / 221220112953.htm ...

Retina-derived signals control pace of neurogenesis in visual brain areas but not circuit assembly. Nature Communications , 2023; 14 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-40749-1 Cite This Page : ...

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 ...

What am I looking at? This video shows the cells that make up a section of the retina of a zebrafish larva only about a day after fertilization.Several cellular components are labeled: the plasma ...

“ We therefore conducted structural measurements and cell movement quantifications, focusing on the developing retina and brain of zebrafish,” said co-lead author Rana Amini. With these measurements, ...

Although much has been learned about the molecular basis of these diseases, they are still incurable. To expedite discovery of new drugs for these diseases, our group studies zebrafish ...

A unique oral drug candidate that is shown to restore vision and regenerate the retina in an animal model, ... in a genetically modified zebrafish model of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

These new cells effectively replace the damaged cells with functional retinal neurons, a pretty neat trick. Sadly, more than 375 million years of evolution separate humans and zebrafish, so ...

Retinal stem cells (RSCs) possess self-renewal capabilities and can continuously generate new cells. While lower vertebrates like zebrafish and amphibians have RSCs, their existence in mammals has ...
