The award supports research to define how size memory is encoded during zebrafish appendage regeneration, combining live imaging, computational analysis, and modeling to identify molecular events that could promote functional appendage regeneration in humans.
Description
This project aims to understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying size memory during zebrafish fin regeneration using live imaging, computational analysis, and theoretical modeling. The long-term goal is to inform regenerative therapies in humans.
