A l'UM la science [S01-ep08]: From zebrafish regeneration to the end-of-year best-of
This week, Farida Djouad, Director of Research atInserm, talks about the fabulous powers of zebrafish. In the second half of the program, we bring you a compilation of our best reports.
There are clowns, cats, moons, pilots, reds and mandarins, but the one we're interested in is a funny zebra. Always dressed to the nines in his striped suit, his flipper always well groomed, he's what scientists call a model organism.
The zebrafish is a highly sought-after creature for research, thanks to a small number of special features that we'll take a moment to explain.
