Reciprocal analyses in zebrafish and medaka reveal that harnessing the immune response promotes cardiac regeneration

Abstract excerpt

Zebrafish display a distinct ability to regenerate their heart following injury. However, this ability is not shared by another teleost, the medaka. In order to identify cellular and molecular bases for this difference, we performed comparative transcriptomic analyses following cardiac cryoinjury. This comparison points to major differences in immune cell dynamics between these models. Upon closer examination, we...
