The study utilized the Sen57wrn-/-ND6-/+ zebrafish model, which combines genetic mutations associated with premature aging (WRN), mitochondrial dysfunction (ND6), and chronic senescence (Sen57). These ...

“ 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, ...

"We therefore conducted structural measurements and cell movement quantifications, focusing on the developing retina and brain of zebrafish," says co-first author Rana Amini.

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence studied a genetic mutation in zebrafish that eliminates all connections between retina and brain throughout development. The team ...

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 ...

Researchers are looking into how a unique characteristic of a zebrafish can regenerate retinas in humans and keep people seeing as they age. Skip to main content. Open Main Menu Navigation.

"Zebrafish, unlike mammals, are able to regenerate parts of their retina if they become injured," Vanderbilt Vision Research Center director Dr. David Calkins said.

Although Müller glial cells in injured mammalian retina do not restore vision as their counterpart in zebrafish do, other researchers have shown that, when the mammalian retina is injured, a small ...
