Aims

Aims to introduce features of Alzheimer’s and frontotemporal dementia to these fish so that researchers will have a new way to study these diseases.Adapting the killifish for dementia research will be a useful asset for future studies. These may include identifying new targets for therapeutics or even testing possible treatments for Alzheimer’s or frontotemporal dementia. The short lifespan of the killifish makes it easier to repeat experiments and allows researchers to gather more data. This will accelerate dementia research efforts and could help researchers make even more exciting discoveries.
