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 ...

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 heart ...

An uninjured (left) and injured adult zebrafish heart with neural crest cells labeled magenta. Note the neural crest cells activated around the edge of the injury in preparation for regenerating the ...

Zebrafish have the remarkable and rare ability to regrow and repair their hearts after damage. New research from Caltech and UC Berkeley has identified the circuit of genes controlling this ability ...

The zebrafish has emerged as a robust vertebrate model for studying cardiac electrophysiology and pharmacology, owing to its genetic tractability, optical transparency during early stages, and ...

The heartbeat is synonymous with life. It's one of the first essential functions to begin during development and to end at death. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. "The ...

After the DNA sequence of the boy’s genome showed a mutation in the VMA21 gene, one of the known causes of XMEA, University of Alabama at Birmingham and Children’s of Alabama pediatric neurologist ...
