Starting out as a model for developmental biology, during the last decade, zebrafish have
also gained the attention of the immunologists and oncologists. Due to its small size, high …

Dysregulation of the inflammatory response in humans can lead to various inflammatory
diseases, like asthma and rheumatoid arthritis. The innate branch of the immune system …

Spinal cord injury leads to a massive response of innate immune cells in non-regenerating
mammals, but also in successfully regenerating zebrafish. However, the role of the immune …

Tumor extracellular vesicles (EVs) mediate the communication between tumor and stromal
cells mostly to the benefit of tumor progression. Notably, tumor EVs travel in the …

Background The global burden of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), together with the
