Zebrafish can regenerate sensory hair cells that humans permanently lose, like those in the inner ear linked to hearing and ...

Now, why this happens is a question we’re not quite sure about – but there may be a clue in the fact that we’re not alone.

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 ...

Aggression is a complex behavior dependent on numerous factors such as personal experiences, upbringing, social context, personality and genetics. Florian Reichmann and his team at the Med Uni Graz ...

The human heart beats 60-100 times a minute, without you needing to pay any attention to it. Heart function is controlled by the brain’s autonomic nervous system (the parasympathetic and ...

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 ...

Zebrafish heart 60 days after injury showing the structure of the heart muscle cells have completely regenerated. [Phong Nguyen, copyright Hubrecht Institute.] Researchers from the group of Jeroen ...

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.

An adult zebrafish heart is about 1 millimeter across, or roughly 13 times larger than the width of a human hair. But at the larval stage shown in this video, the heart is only about 250 micrometers ...

An MDC research team led by Jan Philipp Junker and Daniela Panáková has found that zebrafish can regenerate heart tissue after injury. Connective tissue cells play an important role in the ...

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 ...
