NIH grant awarded to Duke University to study molecular and cellular mechanisms of size memory in zebrafish fin regeneration, aiming to inform human regenerative therapies.
Description
This NIH grant project aims to define the dynamic molecular and cellular events encoding size memory during zebrafish caudal fin regeneration using live imaging, computational analysis, and theoretical modeling. The research will uncover how size memory is established and processed in different cell types during regeneration, with the goal of informing regenerative therapies in humans.
