Neuropilin 1 mediates epicardial activation and revascularization in the regenerating zebrafish heart (2019)
Journal Article
Lowe, V., Wisniewski, L., Sayers, J., Evans, I., Frankel, P., Mercader-Huber, N., …Pellet-Many, C. (2019). Neuropilin 1 mediates epicardial activation and revascularization in the regenerating zebrafish heart. Development, 146, https://doi.org/10.1242/dev.174482

Unlike adult mammals, zebrafish can regenerate their heart. A key mechanism for regeneration is the activation of the epicardium, leading to the establishment of a supporting scaffold for new cardiomyocytes, angiogenesis and cytokine secretion. Neuro...
