New Form of Zebrafish may Help in Neurodegenerative Disease Research

A new variety of zebrafish could provide a major boost in investigating mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer 's disease. They developed a transgenic variety, the "MitoFish," that enables them to see - within individual neurons of living animals - how brain diseases disturb the transport of mitochondria, the power plants of the cell.
