The unrelenting increase in the incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) necessitates the urgent need for effective animal models to mimic its pathophysiology. Zebrafish possess human-like metabolic traits and share significant genetic similarities, making them valuable candidates for studying metabolic disorders, including T2D. This review emphasizes the critical role of animal models in diabetes research, especially focusing on zebrafish as an alternative model organism.

- The study examined adult neurogenesis in three prosimian primate species using markers to identify new neurons in their brains.
- Two species were wild-caught from Africa, while one was bred in captivity, and brain tissues were prepared for analysis.
- Key findings included evidence of new neuron production in specific brain areas, revealing both common and unique patterns of neurogenesis across the studied species.
