An uninjured (left) and injured adult zebrafish heart with neural crest cells labeled magenta. Note the neural crest cells activated around the edge of the injury in preparation for regenerating the ...

A heart attack will leave a permanent scar on a human heart, yet other animals, including some fish and amphibians, can clear cardiac scar tissue and regrow damaged muscle as adults. Scientists have ...

Researchers from the group of Jeroen Bakkers, PhD, at the Hubrecht Institute, have shed new light on the remarkable capacity of the zebrafish to recover from cardiac damage and regenerate functional ...

The heart’s “mini-brain” is independent and highly localized, according to researchers at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden. The findings could lead to new research into arrhythmia, ...

The research groups of Jeroen Bakkers (Hubrecht Institute/UMC Utrecht) and Toon van Veen (UMC Utrecht) report the first patient-specific model for the heart disease arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) ...

(Beyond Pesticides, June 30, 2023) Exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations of the herbicide glyphosate (GLY) has the potential to induce heart damage (cardiotoxicity) through the aging ...

A cross-department collaboration headed by researchers at Harvard Medical School and Harvard University has witnessed the moment at which cells in the zebrafish embryo heart start beating in unison ...

Zebrafish have the remarkable and rare ability to regrow and repair their hearts after damage. New research from Caltech and UC Berkeley has identified the circuit of genes controlling this ability ...

A recent study has compared zebrafish and medaka to figure out why zebrafish can regenerate heart tissue while medaka cannot, potentially advancing human cardiac arrest treatments. Researchers at the ...
