Two university hospitals are pioneering new ways to expand access to the lifesaving heart transplants for adults and babies.

In the new study, the team found that the heart cells derived from neural crest cells are responsible for orchestrating the reconstruction process in damaged zebrafish hearts. When those neural ...

In the new study, the team found that the heart cells derived from neural crest cells are responsible for orchestrating the reconstruction process in damaged zebrafish hearts.

Researchers successfully repaired damaged mouse hearts using a protein from zebrafish. In mice, this protein was able to restore the heart by activating dormant repair genes without causing side ...

They discovered that the protein Hmga1 plays a key role in heart regeneration in zebrafish. In mice, this protein was able to restore the heart by activating dormant repair genes without causing ...

Researchers from the Hubrecht Institute and their collaborators at other institutions have used a protein from zebrafish dubbed Hmga1 which plays a key role in heart regeneration, to reactivate ...

The heart’s “mini-brain” is independent and highly localized, according to researchers at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden. The findings could lead to new research into ...

Researchers have simulated cardiac arrest in two different types of fish to investigate the mechanisms underlying heart regeneration.

Researchers have discovered a mechanism in zebrafish, involving LRRC10, that encourages heart muscle cells to mature during the regeneration process. This finding, applicable to human cells, may ...
