Abstract excerpt
Wound repair requires tight control of immune cell behavior, yet the mechanisms that restrain immune-driven wound repair responses remain poorly defined. Here, we demonstrate that rhomboid intramembrane serine protease Rhbdl2 influences wound repair in zebrafish. We generated rhbdl2 mutants using CRISPR-Cas9 and found that, although Rhbdl2 is dispensable for normal development, its loss triggers enhanced wound...
