Biological model of Danio rerio (zebrafish) – a new research trend in ophthalmology
Abstract:
Dynamic progress in medicine has enabled availability of new diagnostic methods, improved drugs and therapies. However, we are still searching for a perfect model to reflect the complexity of physiological and pathological processes in a human body. Among laboratory animals, an aquatic species of zebrafish (lat. Danio rerio) has become an emergent biological model. The paper presents examples of using zebrafish in medical research, especially in opthamology.
