ZebraBioRes

El campus de Lugo usará un pez de ciclo vital breve para investigar sobre envejecimiento El grupo Zebra BioRes incorpora un tipo de pez killi que se utiliza para esos proyectos al tener una vida de solo entre 4 y 6 meses. El equipo que lidera Laura Sánchez Piñón ha trasladado su acuario al Cebiovet, donde duplica su superficie

'Pelayo and zebrafish helping in rare diseases research'

The main goal of our project is to develop, through CRISPR-Cas9 genetical edition technology, a zebrafish model useful for the study of “ultra-rare” diseases with extremely limited number of patients, for which the capability of a mutation to induce a disease needs confirmation. For such, a CDG subtype associated to a mutation in the RFT1 gene. From this point, a model will be available for studying the potential triggering factors, histologic, metabolic or physiological changes, and for testing specific treatments.

Only one patient with this mutation is known in Spain: Pelayo, a small two-year old superheroe who fights for carrying on and hopes for a small genetically modified fish to bring light to this disease and contribute to the pursuit of a treatment for affected children. This is not science-fiction! Several rare diseases have found a cure through similar strategies.

Pelayo and zebrafish helping in rare diseases research Congenital Disorders of Glycolysation (CDG) are severe and very rare diseases with a prevalence between 1/50.000 and 1/100.000

'Zebrabiores helps to get a deep understanding of pancreatic cancer using zebrafish model'

Zebrabiores helps to get a deep understanding of pancreatic cancer using zebrafish model - Zebrafish Pancreatic cancer, specifically pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), its nowadays one of the pancreatic tumors with the worst prognostic. It represents the fourth cause of death due to cancer, with a survival rate of 7-9% within the next 5 years since the diagnostic.One of the factors that could...

Our PhD Students Álvaro Arana and Carlos Coppel have done a brief stay at i3S in Porto - Zebrafish A month ago, PhD students Álvaro Arana and Carlos Coppel made a brief two-week stay in the José Bessa group, Vertebrate Development and Regeneration, of the Instituto de Investigação e Inovação of the University of Porto (i3S). There, they learned new molecular techniques to carry out their in...

Laura Sanchez interview in Gciencia: 'Zebrafish against the Costa da Morte ataxia' - Zebrafish NOP56 is the key. We know where is the mutation that share all the people affected by this disease, SCA36, or Dead Cost Ataxia. The symptoms of this disease are known (lose of balance and audition, problems to talk or walk) but we still do not know which is the mechanism for this mutation to cause a...
