Funded Activity Summary

How do stem cells work in an organ or tissue to effect repair? Skeletal muscle is one of the few tissues that possesses the ability to regenerate after injury or disease but we understand very little about the processes that govern stem cell activation and the biology of self renewal, the mysterious process by which stem cell populations replicate themselves. Our zebrafish system will allow us to examine these questions directly in living muscle.
