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 ...

A heart attack will leave a permanent scar on a human heart, yet other animals, including zebrafish, can clear cardiac scar tissue and regrow damaged muscle as adults. Biologists sheds new light on ...

A cross-department collaboration headed by researchers at Harvard Medical School and Harvard University has witnessed the moment at which cells in the zebrafish embryo heart start beating in unison ...

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 ...

Cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attacks, are a leading cause of death worldwide resulting from a limited self-healing power of the heart. Unlike humans, zebrafish have the remarkable capacity ...

Unlike humans, zebrafish can completely regenerate their hearts after injury. They owe this ability to the interaction between their nervous and immune systems, as researchers led by Suphansa ...

Researchers from the Bakkers group at the Hubrecht Institute have successfully repaired damaged mouse hearts using a protein from zebrafish. They discovered that the protein Hmga1 plays a key role in ...

Oxytocin, the neurohormone responsible for pleasure, has been found to help regenerate cardiomyocytes in zebrafish and human stem cell cultures. A new study from Michigan State University (MI, USA), ...

This rare glimpse into the beating heart of a zebrafish offers a view of how blood flows into and out of its heart. Zebrafish have a heart and a circulatory system similar to that of humans, but with ...

The zebra danio fish is also known as the zebrafish or striped danio. They are tropical, freshwater fish from Southern Asia. Scientists often use zebra danios for research, and they have become ...
