Spinal cord regeneration deploys adult molecular programs that do not recapitulate embryonic development

Yuxiao Xu, Amulya Saini, Wenda Zhang, Lili Zhou, Mayssa H. Mokalled

The paper examines whether spinal cord regeneration in adult zebrafish recapitulates embryonic development by analyzing single-cell RNA-seq data across development, homeostasis, and regeneration.

Hb-EGF directs systemic muscle repair

Haley C. Dean, Vishnu Muraleedharan Saraswathy, Amulya Saini, Tiffany Ou, Jennifer F. McAdow, Amruta Tendolkar, Mayssa H. Mokalled, Aaron N. Johnson

The paper shows that systemic muscle injury in zebrafish activates Hb-EGF in the epidermis, which is necessary for systemic repair, while local injury does not require Hb-EGF.
