Research focused on understanding epicardial cell roles in heart regeneration in zebrafish to inform regenerative medicine approaches for human cardiac repair.
Description
This project aims to elucidate the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which the epicardium coordinates vascular formation and cardiomyocyte regeneration in zebrafish, providing a framework for translational strategies to enhance epicardial-driven repair in the injured mammalian heart.
