Some years after also working on the wood frog in Ottawa, another Storey lab alumna, Rasha Al-Attar, now works at Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts General Hospital Center for Engineering in Medicine & Surgery, where she takes inspiration from nature to develop cryopreservation techniques for experimental model animals like zebrafish, or to preserve organs like human hearts.

The study, conducted on zebrafish, is published in Nature Communications.

The study was conducted on zebrafish, an animal model that exhibits strong similarities to human heart rate and overall cardiac function.

In zebrafish studies, it was shown to stop the formation of new blood vessels that tumours need in order to grow.

Working with week-old zebrafish larva, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and colleagues decoded how the connections formed by a network of neurons in the brainstem guide the fishes' gaze.
