The Zebrafish as an Emerging Model to Study DNA Damage in Aging, Cancer and Other Diseases
10 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
Cancer is a disease of the elderly, and old age is its largest risk factor. With age, DNA damage accumulates continuously, increasing the chance of malignant transformation. The zebrafish has emerged as an important vertebrate model to study these processes.
