Valentine’s Day is traditionally associated with the heart. For centuries poets, writers and lovers have been convinced that ...

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 ...

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).

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 ...

Scientists at the Hubrecht Institute in the Netherlands have achieved a remarkable breakthrough in heart regeneration therapy. By utilizing a protein found in zebrafish, known as Hmga1 ...

As reported in 2014 in Cell Stem Cell, downregulation of these four miRs is sufficient to promote endogenous heart regeneration after injury in adult zebrafish. Although this process fails to ...

The zebrafish is a good research stand-in for its fellow vertebrate, the human, because the two have many parts in common: brain, heart, liver, kidneys. And genome sequencing has shown that 84 ...
