Scientists uncover how zebrafish switch between cell division and direct differentiation to rebuild sensory organs, challenging long-held views on tissue regeneration. Study: Stem and progenitor cell ...

While humans can regularly replace certain cells, like those in our blood and gut, we cannot naturally regrow most other parts of the body. For example, when the tiny sensory hair cells in our inner ...

Researchers have published an atlas of zebrafish development, detailing the gene expression programs that are activated within nearly every cell type during the first five days of development, a ...

Artistic representation of heart regeneration: Hmga1 in green symbolically flows from the border zone of a zebrafish heart (top right) to the injured border zone of a mouse heart (left). Red ...

Find out how understanding the genetic basis of heart defects can lead to better outcomes for children with congenital heart ...

Vertebrate paired appendages, such as the pectoral fins in fish and the forelimbs in tetrapods, arise at specific regions along the anterior–posterior axis of the body. Hox genes have long been ...

Stowers scientists identify specific genes involved in zebrafish sensory hair cell regrowth, providing new insights that could inform future research into hearing loss treatments KANSAS CITY, MO — ...

Researchers from the Bakkers group at the Hubrecht Institute have successfully repaired damaged mouse hearts using a protein ...
