Hapln1-HA signaling promotes progenitor cell proliferation and spinal cord regeneration

Yuxiao Xu, Lili Zhou, Vishnu Muraleedharan Saraswathy, Ryan Mcadow, Mayssa H. Mokalled

This study identifies Hapln1-HA signaling as a pro-regenerative mechanism in zebrafish spinal cord injury by enhancing progenitor cell proliferation and repair.

Transient activation of potent progenitor cells is required for spinal cord regeneration

Chase A. Weinholtz, Lili Zhou, Vishnu Muraleedharan Saraswathy, Yuxiao Xu, Dana Klatt Shaw, Anthony R. McAdow, Dongkook Park, Jimann Shin, Lilianna Solnica‐Krezel, Aaron N. Johnson, Mayssa H. Mokalled

This study identifies sox2+ progenitors as critical for zebrafish spinal cord regeneration and shows Bach1 transcription factors regulate their activation and quiescence.

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.
