Animals have developed strategies to respond to pathogens to avoid tissue injuries, but these strategies vary greatly among species such as mammals, amphibians and fishes. 1 Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a teleost fish that, in contrast to mammals, present a high regenerative capacity even considering complex tissues, such as heart, retina, brain, spinal cord and fins. [2][3][4] It represents a relatively new animal model to study different aspects of biology mainly due to some aspects such as high fertility, rapid development, lower cost and maintenance space and the ease of genome editing. 5 Taking into
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
