Illegal sale of in . Although there is no damage to the environment, this harms the between and . Five persons, aging between 60 and 72 years have been arrested by police. Interestingly, the student who originally stole the fish to their university will not be prosecuted because the theft happened in 2009 (therefore the statute of limitations has already expired in his case).

: The , a popular fish, is an important and widely used vertebrate in scientific research, for example in drug development, in particular pre-clinical development.

It is also notable for its regenerative abilities, and has been modified by researchers to produce many (genetically modified organisms) strains.

“We developed a valuable software tool, transgenic tension sensors in mice, and revealed a spatiotemporal gradient in subcellular force transmission during forelimb bud morphogenesis”

We interviewed Kelli to find out more about the story behind the paper:

hello! i'm jess, i work in a lab where we plant-pathogen interactions. i like to make plants with pink roots. i collect weird tropical trees, and i also have a small menagerie of non-plants including janky , dwarf , and a pair of little pink australian that i occasionally post pictures of. cheers! 🌱
