This study shows that paternal cardiac injury in vertebrates triggers inflammatory signals to the gonads, leading to intergenerational cardiac effects in offspring.

Paternal cardiac injury in mice improves offspring cardiac recovery and function through heritable changes.

The paper identifies a subset of pre-existent sox10+ cardiomyocytes in adult zebrafish that expand after injury and are crucial for cardiac regeneration.

The paper identifies actomyosin dynamics and Notch/Bmp signaling as drivers of apical extrusion of proepicardial cells in zebrafish during heart development.

The paper investigates fibrosis resolution in regenerating zebrafish hearts, finding that fibroblasts become inactivated rather than being eliminated, and that fibrosis supports cardiomyocyte proliferation.
