A nice article in The Scientist on the role and promises of adult neurogenesis in Alzheimer's disease. Thanks to Dr. Abby Olena for featuring our previous work in zebrafish and its relationship to decipher how to use adult neurogenesis to tackle Alzheimer's. Reduced Adult Neurogenesis Linked with Alzheimer’s Disease Neural progenitors in a human brain …
Our new review published in Glia
Our open-access review on the comparative aspects of glia in zebrafish and mammals is out at Glia. Big thanks to our institutes and funding agencies for their support. https://doi.org/10.1002/glia.23849
Our new review on pathology-induced regenerative molecular programs of zebrafish brain is out!
We have published a review article on the current knowledge about the damage-induced molecular programs that underlie the regenerative ability in zebrafish brain in Current Pathobiology Reports. The ability to regenerate lost neurons is one of the aims of designing regenerative therapies in humans. Zebrafish, with its extensive regenerative ability and superb aptitude for …
Neural stem cells in Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer’s disease is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease and a worldwide health challenge. Different therapeutic approaches are being developed to revert or slow the loss of affected neurons. Alternatively, we also need to mobilize the existing neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) to regenerate lost neurons despite the existing pathology and unfavorable environment. We need to induce …
