The adult mammalian heart lacks any appreciable capacity to regenerate ischemia-damaged muscle. By comparison, injured zebrafish hearts mount an impressive regenerative response driven by robust myocardial proliferation. My laboratory’s research program is driven by the simple assumption that a complete understanding of cardiomyocyte proliferation regulatory mechanisms in zebrafish could be leveraged to promote heart regeneration…
