How fish brain cells react to Alzheimer’s disease Zebrafish, in contrast to humans, have outstanding regenerative capacities: If brain cells are lost due to illness or injury, they will easily regrow from so-called progenitor cells. With sophisticated methods, in the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) and the Technische Universität Dresden (TUD), we now characterized …
Kizil lab will give a Kavli lecture in NTNU, Trondheim, Norway
We will present our current research in an invited lecture in Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience in Trondheim, Norway on Friday, April 12, 10 am. https://www.ntnu.edu/kalender/detaljer/-/event/c253e207-eebc-320b-9639-3ffda7aee79c
Our Alzheimer’s disease model in zebrafish is used for validating a drug that prevents loss of neuronal connections
A collaborative work led by Jared Sterneckert, and in which Kizil Lab was also involved, is now published in the journal Stem Cell Reports, the official journal of International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR). This study identified a lead compound that inhibits CDK5 and GSK3β, and is neuroprotective in vitro and in vivo. Prabesh …
