· What do I do? Using zebrafish, I aim to understand the basic biology of Motorneurone Disease (MND). · Why? Zebrafish have many research advantages which allow us gain insight into, & manipulate biological processes in the study of MND.
The complexity of the human brain has made it difficult to study many brain disorders in model organisms, and highlights the need for an in vitro model of human brain development. We have developed a human pluripotent stem cell-derived 3D…
Mitochondria participate in various metabolic pathways, and their dysregulation results in multiple disorders, including aging-related diseases. However, the metabolic changes and mechanisms of mitochondrial disorders are not fully…
