Open AccessCardiac cell type-specific responses to injury and contributions to heart regeneration
Heart disease is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Due to the limited proliferation rate of mature cardiomyocytes, adult mammalian hearts are unable to regenerate damaged cardiac muscle following injur...

Article
Coordinating cardiomyocyte interactions to direct ventricular chamber morphogenesis
A complex interplay involving Notch- and Erbb2-mediated signalling between cardiomyocytes guides the morphogenesis of the ventricular wall.

Surface-blended texturing of medical needles for friction reduction using a picosecond laser
The success of percutaneous procedures depends on the accuracy of the medical needle insertion. Reducing the insertion force and using better needle visualization during needle insertion can reduce needle plac...

Article
Hydrogen peroxide primes heart regeneration with a derepression mechanism
While the adult human heart has very limited regenerative potential, the adult zebrafish heart can fully regenerate after 20% ventricular resection. Although previous reports suggest that developmental signali...

In vivo cardiac reprogramming contributes to zebrafish heart regeneration
A cardiac injury study in zebrafish reveals the plasticity of heart cell lineages as shown by a Notch-dependent transdifferentiation of atrial to ventricular cardiomyocytes, regenerating a cell type that is da...

Targeted ablation of the histidine-rich Ca2+-binding protein (HRC) gene is associated with abnormal SR Ca2+-cycling and severe pathology under pressure-overload stress
The histidine-rich Ca2+-binding protein (HRC) is located in the lumen of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and exhibits high-capacity Ca2+-binding properties. Overexpression of HRC in the heart resulted in impaired...

Zebrafish Cardiac Injury and Regeneration Models: A Noninvasive and Invasive In Vivo Model of Cardiac Regeneration
Despite current treatment regimens, heart failure still remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the world due to failure to adequately replace lost ventricular myocardium from ischemia-...
