Dominik has actually succeeded in implanting the zebra fish with the human Alzheimer’s gene. But how will the fish larvae react to the new gene and the illness? Will the fish show symptoms of the disease, such as agglutinations of the Tau protein in nerve cells? Only then can the researchers use the fish to test medicines which could eventually also help people.
