Zebrafish can regenerate sensory hair cells that humans permanently lose, like those in the inner ear linked to hearing and balance. New research reveals two specific genes that control how different ...

When a salamander loses a leg, it grows back. When a zebrafish loses a fin, it grows back. When a mouse loses a fingertip, it grows back, but only the very tip, and then the process stops cold. Three ...

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 ...

Ames, Iowa – Iowa State University researchers have received a grant to further develop innovative technology that allows them to scour the genome of zebrafish for genes that might lead to advances in ...

A research team from the University of Cologne has shown how zebrafish can rebuild their nerve pathways and restore their locomotor function after a spinal cord injury. Specialized connective tissue ...

Neuronal degeneration leading to visual impairment or blindness remains a critical challenge in human health. Unlike humans, zebrafish possess a remarkable ability to regenerate retinal neurons after ...
