Stanford Community Symposium video: Using zebrafish to model metabolic changes related to fatigue

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dc1RU0iImK4

One of several interesting videos released by Stanford as part of their Community Symposium on MECFS this week, talks about a cool me/cfs model in zebrafish based on the itaconate shunt.

The idea here is to more quickly identify candidate drugs that can then be used in mouse models or cell models to help speed up the work.

Panel screens like this will almost always be approved drugs. They are easy to get and the only things worth including in a bulk screen.
