#KnowYourZDM or ‘Know Your Zebrafish Disease Model’ features ways the miniature fish is helping doctors and researchers fight human diseases. Stay tuned for more on this series!
#KnowYourZDM: In 2019, a 10-year-old patient w/ a life-threatening lymphatic disorder was losing hope. Zebrafish to the rescue! Scientists created zebrafish with the same gene mutation and found a melanoma drug that fixed the fish. Then, doctors used the same drug on the patient to save his life! 🧪
