They then performed statistical analyses to identify the key drivers of organ regeneration across different types of tissues. (sciencedaily.com)
Suzuki, possibly inspired by his new job as a research scientist at the Research Unit for Organ Regeneration in Kobe, Japan, explains it this way: «Just as humans can start over in life, differentiated cells can also take on other fates following the generation of undifferentiated stem cells.» (salk.edu)
Recently, the zebrafish has emerged as a powerful vertebrate genetic model organism for studies in organ regeneration due to ease of genetic manipulation and enhanced regenerative capacity. (mdibl.org)
