During the quest to understand zebrafish hair cell regeneration, researchers have discovered the existence of a cell type not previously described in the process. Scientists have created innovative ...

And genome sequencing has shown that 84 percent of the genes that cause disease in humans are also found in zebrafish. Since University of Queensland cell biologist Ben Hogan began studying ...

Unlike humans, zebrafish grow new heart muscle cells: they have a regenerative capacity. When a zebrafish heart is damaged, it can fully restore its function within 60 days. “We don’t ...

Unlike humans, zebrafish grow new heart muscle cells and can fully restore the function of a damaged heart within 60 days. It’s a mechanism that’s not fully understood but by “studying ...
