Transcriptomic data meta-analysis reveals common and injury model specific gene expression changes in the regenerating zebrafish heart

Marius Alexandru Botos Rogozsan

Zebrafish have the capacity to fully regenerate the heart after an injury, which lies in sharp contrast to the irreversible loss of cardiomyocytes after a myocardial infarction in humans. Transcriptomics analysis has contributed to dissect underlying signa ...

Incomplete Recovery of Zebrafish Retina Following Cryoinjury

Dylan Lawless

Zebrafish show an extraordinary potential for regeneration in several organs from fins to central nervous system. Most impressively, the outcome of an injury results in a near perfect regeneration and a full functional recovery. Indeed, among the various i ...

Strategies to modulate zebrafish collective dynamics with a closed-loop biomimetic robotic system

Francesco Mondada, Alexey Gribovskiy, Frank Bonnet

The objective of this study is to integrate biomimetic robots into small groups of zebrafish and to modulate their collective behaviours. A possible approach is to have the robots behave like sheepdogs. In this case, the robots would behave like a differen ...
