The new US study of zebrafish has identified a key cellular pathway that appears to trigger regeneration by switching on certain genes.

Byline: ANI London, Nov 4 (ANI): A new study of zebrafish has put scientists in the U.

Zebrafish -- the colourful aquarium species -- is a goldmine of genetic information that can be used to understand pathways and mechanisms of practically every human disease from blindness to coronary artery disease.

Understanding how zebrafish can regenerate large numbers of motor neurones after damage to the spinal cord and how these motor neurones are produced could help in finding treatments.

United States Department of Veterans Affairs (Washington, DC) has patented a transgenic screen and method for screening biological and chemical test substances or molecules for their ability to influence or modulate the production of BDNF in cells, includes a fusion gene having a zebrafish BDNF gene fragment (promoter) and a fluorescent marker gene inserted downstream of the BDNF gene fragment.

Here come the zebrafish Scientific advances come in all shapes and sizes--even zebrafish.

Because of these findings, we turned our attention to looking at the zebrafish as a novel model organism for studying ataxin-1 phosphorylation.
