Published in Gene Therapy Weekly, August 3rd, 2006

Recent research from the United States has documented a role for alpha 1 tubulin (alpha 1T)-expressing Muller glia in the regeneration of the injured zebrafish retina.

"Alpha 1T is a neuron-specific microtubule protein whose expression is induced in the developing and regenerating CNS. In the adult CNS, alpha 1T expression remains high in neural progenitors," wrote B.V. Fausett and colleagues, University of Michigan.

"Transgenic zebrafish harboring a 1.7 kb alpha 1T promoter fragment along with the first exon and intron express the transgene in a manner that recapitulates expression of the endogenous gene. We recently showed that this promoter...
