Zebrafish live imaging reveals only around 2% rather than 50% of motor neurons die through apoptosis during early development
For example, a recent zebrafish study reported that neural crest cells can help to remove apoptotic cells in the nervous system during development (Zhu et al., 2019). In the future, we will ...
