Experiments in zebrafish larvae traced cells that became eye neurons without dividing and found that insulin signals were involved.Experiments in zebrafish larvae traced cells that became eye neurons without dividing and found that insulin signals were involved.
Preprint: fish studyEye
Who was studiedZebrafish larvae
What changedLabeled progenitor cells became retinal neurons without dividing after genetically induced neuron loss
The catchThe experiments examined genetic neuron destruction, not damage from aging or retinal disease
