The Zebra Fish
has two main talents - beautiful embryos and the ability to regrow
new organs if they need them - even the heart !!!.
Peter is leading
a study that uses the Zebra fish as a model for the study of muscular
dystrophy in humans. It seems to be related to the production of
stem cells - as fish are mostly muscle and they need to retain the
ability to grow muscle as they age, while humans seem to lose that
ability. Can Peter and his team find a way to let people do the
same ?
