Spinal cord repair is modulated by the neurogenic factor Hb-egf under direction of a regeneration-associated enhancer
11 Aug 2023
Abstract excerpt
Unlike adult mammals, zebrafish regenerate spinal cord tissue and recover locomotor ability after a paralyzing injury. Here, we find that ependymal cells in zebrafish spinal cords produce the neurogenic factor Hb-egfa upon transection injury. Animals with hb-egfa mutations display defective swim capacity, axon crossing, and tissue bridging after spinal cord transection, associated with disrupted indicators of...
