A new discovery made in fishes could aid the research into motor neuron disease. Scientists have found that a key hormone allows young zebrafish to develop and replace their motor neurons - a kind of nerve cell found in the spinal cord. The discovery may aid efforts to create neurons from stem cells in the lab, and support further research into a disorder for which there is still no cure. In humans, motor neurons control important muscle ...Friday, 24 May 2013
