Zebrafish and Alzheimer's Disease
Our lab's research on the earliest biological drivers of Alzheimer's years before symptoms appear was featured on PIX11 this morning. Our work centers on the earliest mechanisms driving Alzheimer's risk — specifically, how breakdown of the blood-brain barrier and neuroinflammation set the stage for disease years before symptoms emerge. We believe this early window is …
Our associate research scientist, Dr. Prabesh Bhattarai, was recently featured on the Research Renaissance podcast, where he spoke with host Deborah Westphal about how regenerative biology could open new doors for Alzheimer's treatment. Dr. Bhattarai discussed how zebrafish are able to regenerate neurons lost to Alzheimer's-like damage and why humans and mice can't do the …
Our work on Alzheimer's disease and zebrafish was in MDR Aktuell, a national radio broadcaster. Please click on the image above to listen at the broadcaster's website.
We gave an interview to MDR news in Germany on our latest zebrafish work: single cell analyses of zebrafish brain's response to Alzheimer's disease. (Click the image to listen)
