Leveraging Zebrafish To Study Bona Fide Astrocytes

In a recent study, Chen and colleagues demonstrated that zebrafish spinal cord radial glia differentiate into cells that are similar to mammalian astrocytes. This study highlights the validity of the zebrafish model for discovering molecular mechanisms governing astrocyte function.
