Zebrafish exhibit this regeneration through their Müller glia (MG) cells, which act as stem cells. Upon retinal damage, MG cells re-enter the cell cycle, producing neuronal progenitors that ...

According to Zhang, Chinese scientists plan to conduct experiments on mice aboard Tiangong in the near future, focusing on ...

Zebrafish are known for their capacity to regenerate numerous tissues, including the heart, spinal cord and appendages. A group of scientists led by Kenneth Poss of Duke University (Durham, NC ...

Green fluorescent proteins show where bone-building is occurring in the regeneration of a zebrafish caudal fin that had been amputated. Complete repairs begin at the tail's base and gradually ...

BEIJING -- China's space station is set to introduce a novel participant in its space science experiments -- the planarian, a ...

In April 2024, Shenzhou 18 carried four zebrafish and four grams of goldfish algae to the Chinese space station to conduct in-orbit experiments. With about 70 percent genetic similarity to humans, ...

Microglia are brain-resident macrophages playing pivotal roles in CNS development and homeostasis. Yet, the cellular and molecular basis governing microglia maintenance ...

Transgenic animals continue to play an essential role in many aspects of zebrafish research, including the development of disease models. The most widely used system for zebrafish transgenesis is the ...

In the regeneration game, mammals pale before such creatures as salamanders. Humans barely avert complete disappointment, regrowing digit tips if they are severed past the last joint, while ...

We study the chemical and physical mechanisms by which intact tissues detect wounds to initiate healing, inflammation, regeneration, and cancer. We address these mechanisms by quantitative imaging in ...
