After a heart attack, humans lose millions of heart muscle cells that cannot regrow, often leading to heart failure where the ...

Researchers have successfully repaired damaged mouse hearts using a protein from zebrafish. They discovered that the protein Hmga1 plays a key role in heart regeneration in zebrafish. In mice, this ...

Researchers from the Hubrecht Institute's Bakkers group have used a zebrafish protein to successfully repair damaged mouse ...

The data suggests that Hmga1, a key protein for regenerating heart cells, could be a target for gene therapies that prevent cardiac failure.

After a heart attack, the human heart loses millions of muscle cells that cannot regrow. This often leads to heart failure, where the heart struggles to pump blood effectively. Unlike humans, ...

This often leads to heart failure, where the heart struggles to pump blood effectively. Unlike humans, zebrafish grow new heart muscle cells: they have a regenerative capacity. When a zebrafish's ...

“The heart of the zebrafish is closer to that of humans ... neurodegenerative disorders from dementia to Parkinson’s disease. “If neurons die in the brain, then they die in the heart and ...

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 ...
