For the first time, scientists have built a detailed atlas of a zebrafish’s nerve cells. The atlas tells scientists how these special fish can fully heal a severed spinal cord and could offer ...

Zebrafish are members of a rarefied group of vertebrates capable of fully healing a severed spinal cord. A clear understanding of how this regeneration takes place could provide clues toward ...

Zebrafish are members of a rarefied group of vertebrates capable of fully healing a severed spinal cord. Now, a new study from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis using a ...

Spinal cord damage—whether from traumatic injury or conditions such as spina bifida—can have a profound impact on bladder ...

However, how this natural healing process works has long been a mystery. A new study has uncovered how zebrafish regenerate their spinal cords, offering hope for human spinal cord injury patients.

MONDAY, Aug. 19, 2024 (HealthDay News) -- A fish might hold clues to healing spinal cord injuries in humans, researchers report. The damaged nerve cells of zebrafish can survive a spinal cord ...

Using these techniques, the Sengupta Lab aims to determine how zebrafish coordinate their fins and body during swimming and how this coordination develops. By defining functions of distinct ...

Dr Catherina Becker, of Edinburgh University's centre for neuroregeneration, said: "Understanding how zebrafish can regenerate large numbers of motor neurones after damage to the spinal cord and how ...
