Wonderful findings using the killifish model!! 🥳🥳
Beyond thrilled to share 3 papers on the killifish from our lab and fantastic collaborators!! 🐟🙌
Two on protein aggregates during aging – with @JaroszLab!

We are proud of our transparent #Killifish line “klara” and our contribution to the development of the @zeiss_micro light sheet microscope. It`s a perfect example of a successful collaboration🤝.

How do we age? To be able to better understand and influence the aging process, a research team at the Leibniz Institute on Aging, Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI), Germany, has generated a transparent killifish line using CRISPR/Cas9.
This enabled successful in vivo imaging of a GFP-senescence reporter line with single cell resolution inside entire fish using a ZEISS light sheet system. The transparent fish will be a critical tool in their research on the genes that regulate organ development and aging.

The ultimate sacrifice?
In a beautiful preprint led by Eitan and Tehila, we demonstrate that ablating the germline in vertebrates has a sex-specific effect, significantly prolonging male lifespan while conferring exceptional stress resistance in females! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Check out this new issue of CSH Protocols!! New protocols to study degeneration and regeneration during aging in the #killifish!! 🐠🐠🐟
Super cool work from the terrific killifish team at KU Leuven in Belgium @LabMoons, @StevenBergmans!
And beautiful cover 🤩
A new issue of CSH Protocols is out!
The cover image features the work of Vanhunsel, @StevenBergmans & @LabMoons (@KU_Leuven), who describe a paradigm to induce and study both de- and regeneration of retinal ganglion cells and their axons in killifish. Links below! ⬇️
