Prrx1b directs pro-regenerative fibroblasts during zebrafish heart regeneration
2020-06-14
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Rationale</h4> The human heart loses millions of cardiomyocytes after an ischemic injury, but is unable to regenerate the lost tissue. Instead, the injured human heart is repaired by pro-fibrotic fibroblasts that form a large permanent scar. In contrast, the injured zebrafish heart regenerates efficiently without the formation of a permanent scar. While fibroblasts have been shown to be ind...
