At the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Lars Bräutigam and his colleagues are doing research with what they believe is a key model for medical research – zebrafish.
Among other things, they take cancer cells, transplant them into zebrafish embryos, and can then reproduce and study human cancer.
To better understand diseases and find new medicines.
- The development of the zebrafish is fascinatingly fast.
It takes 24 hours from a single cell until you have a zebrafish embryo that can move, that has a beating heart and that has a nervous system.
It gives you the opportunity in research to get results very quickly, says Lars Bräutigam, head of the zebrafish facility at the Karolinska Institutet.
Come along to the zebrafish lab in Stockholm, see more about the technology of the future, and
the fabric that stands up better against the wind than many hard materials,
