Prbs Bhattarai successfully defended his thesis and graduated from our lab! Prabesh published 15 papers in respected journals during his PhD with a remarkable record. We wish him all the best for his successful career. Prabesh generated an Alzheimer’s disease model in , and identified molecular mechanisms controlling neural stem cell plasticity in experimental AD conditions in the adult fish for the first time. His contributions are significant. We are grateful for his efforts! Great job Prabesh!

We are glad to announce a review we wrote together with Nathalie Jurisch-Yaksi and Emre Yaksi is now published as an open access article in the journal GLIA.

We compare glial cells and their functions in zebrafish and mammals. Glia research is a growing field and we hope that our publication will contribute to this research area.

Radial glia in the zebrafish brain: Functional, structural, and physiological comparison with the mammalian glia Beyond its neurogenic ability, zebrafish radial glia play homeostatic roles at the level of neural circuits and brain barriers. Thus, the zebrafish radial glia can be considered as the ancestral homo...
