PhD Thesis at Basrah University Explores the Role of Changes in the Electric Ghost Fish
A PhD thesis at the College of Agriculture at the University of Basrah investigated the role of dexamethasone in inducing genetic and tissue changes in the regeneration of damaged organs in the electric ghostfish.
The study, presented by PhD student Ammar Abdul Wahid Issa, examined the fish's ability to repair and rebuild tissues, considering it an ideal model for such studies. It aimed to utilise this phenomenon to understand the mechanisms of tissue regeneration and activity in damaged areas, as well as to assess the impact of dexamethasone—one of the medical treatments used for allergic diseases—on the regeneration of tissues affected by wounds or limb amputation, including its genetic and histological effects.
