This allows a gradual and robust restoration of original fin size. However, how this is est...
Background: Zebrafish (Danio rerio) has a remarkable capacity to regenerate many organs and tissues. During larval stages the fin fold allows the possibility of performing long time-lapse imaging making this system very appealing to study the relationships between tissue movements, cell migration and proliferation necessary for the regeneration process. Results: Through the combined use of transgenic fluorescen...
