The researchers re-injected these leukemic lymphoblasts into zebrafish and tested the transferability of these tumor cells. After 7 days, these lymphoblasts quickly distributed into the zebrafish and even into the thymus. Because the genes and developmental mechanisms of humans and fish are similar, zebrafish has become an excellent material for studying animal embryonic development in recent years.
