This NIH research grant supports a study to understand how epicardial cells promote heart regeneration in zebrafish, with the goal of informing therapies for human heart repair after injury.
Description
The project aims to reveal key regulatory mechanisms by which epicardial cells guide successful heart regeneration in zebrafish, providing novel insights into natural regenerative capacity and informing new approaches to promote cardiac repair in heart attack victims.
