Funded Activity Summary

This proposal addresses how immune cells participate in regeneration of damaged organs in adult zebrafish. Unlike mammals, zebrafish have a remarkable capacity to regenerate their various body parts in adulthood, providing a model to understand how regeneration capacity might be induced in humans. The proposed study will define mechanisms of immune-mediated regeneration that could provide new cellular and molecular targets for stimulating replacement of damaged organs in the human injury setting
