Congratulations to all of us involved in this large-scale profiling of drugs relevant to ASD genes ! There’s so much the zebrafish have and will continue to inform us about !!

A large-scale screen in zebrafish has identified FDA-approved drugs that reverse disrupted behaviors linked to specific autism risk genes, supporting precision medicine approaches in autism research. doi.org/hbvr2v
In recent decades, the zebrafish has become one of the most valuable model organisms in scientific research. For a variety of reasons, including their genetic similarities to humans, these tiny tropical fish have helped researchers unlock secrets to diseases ranging from muscular dystrophy to melanoma.
