Innate Mechanisms of Spinal Cord Regeneration
Valentina Cigliola, an assistant professor from Vanderbilt University’s Department of Pharmacology, presented a talk on “Innate Mechanisms of Spinal Cord Regeneration”.
Cigliola discussed zebrafish spinal regeneration and its potential applicability to humans. Zebrafish, or Danio rerio, can regrow spinal neurons in under 10 weeks.
Understanding the innate mechanisms of spinal cord regeneration in zebrafish may reveal how to induce regeneration in adult mammals.
Her talk was hosted by Assistant Professor of Biology at Hopkins Erin Jimenez. The key to unlocking regeneration in humans may lie in studying zebrafish.
Author's summary: Zebrafish can regrow spinal neurons in weeks, inspiring human regeneration research.
