The heart is the first organ formed during mammalian development. A properly sized and functional heart is vital throughout the entire lifespan. Loss of cardiomyocytes because of injury or diseases ...

Zebrafish can fully regenerate their myocardium after ventricular resection without evidence of scars. This extraordinary regenerative ability provides an excellent model system to study the ...

UC Berkeley and Caltech researchers identified a gene circuit in zebrafish that allows heart regeneration after injury. Using ...

The adult zebrafish heart exhibits a remarkable capacity to regenerate after ventricular resection 138 or cryoinjury-induced myocardial infarction. 139 – 141 The cryoinjury model triggers similar ...

Humans can't regenerate heart muscle damaged by disease, but scientists have long known that some animals, such as zebrafish, can.Researchers have now ...

Inside every muscle cell, there’s a clock. Not the kind that ticks on your wall or buzzes on your wrist, but a natural timekeeping system that helps your body stay in rhythm. This clock controls when ...
