A new study from the Kemperman group ⤵️
Exploring the foundations of individuality: A new study shows how individual agency influences brain development.

For this research, scientists from DZNE and @crtd-tud.bsky.social analyzed genetically identical mice in enriched environments.

Findings: see below👇

First paper from our lab officially out.

And they let us put Muller glia, the indisputably most interesting cell in the body on the cover.

"Zebrafish can regrow photoreceptors from special stem cells located in the retina, called Müller glia." [via TU Dresden] 🧪👁️

These regenerated photoreceptors work the same as the original, enabling the #Zebrafish to 'fully see' again.

Ein Blick in die Zukunft: Zebrafische können ihre Photorezeptoren wieder vollständig funktional regenerieren
Bei vielen Formen von Blindheit sind die lichtempfindlichen Sehzellen im Auge – die Photorezeptoren - geschädigt. Diese Zellen können vom menschlichen Körper nicht regeneriert werden. Während …
