Stab injury model of zebrafish unveils regenerative processes by neural stem cells in the brain

A research team led by Professor Toshio Ohshima from Department of Life science and Medical Bioscience recently elucidated the regenerative processes by neural stem cells using a stab injury model in the optic tectum, a less studied area of the brain, of adult zebrafish. This study has brought them a step closer to shedding light on how an injured, human central nervous system (CNS) could be restored.

This study was published online in the scientific journal  GLIA on February 7, 2018. ＜More＞
