Cardiac-immune microniches programme macrophage states in the regenerating heart

The paper maps cardiac-immune microniches in regenerating zebrafish hearts and identifies a fibroblast-macrophage interaction that promotes regenerative macrophage states.

Absence of a prolonged macrophage and B cell response inhibits heart regeneration in the Mexican cavefish

The paper identifies prolonged innate and adaptive immune responses as critical for heart regeneration in surface fish, showing that inhibiting these responses impairs regeneration.

Defining mononuclear phagocyte distribution and behaviour in the zebrafish heart

The paper identifies distinct mononuclear phagocyte populations in the adult zebrafish heart and shows their differential distribution and behavior, including proliferation after injury.

The transcriptome of regenerating zebrafish scales identifies genes involved in human bone disease

The paper identifies genes involved in human bone disease by analyzing transcriptomic changes during zebrafish scale regeneration.
