Caudal fin regeneration in wild type and long-fin mutant zebrafish is affected by retinoic acid.

Abstract excerpt

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) represents an ideal experimental model to tackle fundamental issues concerned with organogenesis during development and regeneration of complex body structures. We discuss here the development of the skeleton in zebrafish caudal fins, their regenerative ability in wild type and long-fin mutant adult fish, and how retinoic acid (RA), which induces duplications along the proximodistal axis...
