More new work from the lab! @idrm.ox.ac.uk @oxforddpag.bsky.social
Do all zebrafish regenerate their hearts equally? Also featuring the Mexican cavefish☺️
Thanks to all co-authors and especially the incredibly talented DPhil student Kostas Lekkos who drove the project. #zebrafish #heartregeneration

Do zebrafish regenerate their hearts equally? In our new paper at the @tillymommersteeg.bsky.social lab we uncovered variations in the regenerative response of 7 wt zebrafish strains leading us to identify a critical role of oxidative phosphorylation in long-term heart regeneration.

Oxidative phosphorylation is required for cardiomyocyte re-differentiation and long-term fish heart regeneration

Nature Cardiovascular Research - Lekkos et al. show that a metabolic switch toward oxidative phosphorylation is required for cardiomyocyte re-differentiation and heart regeneration after injury in...

New work from the lab! Cellular processes key for successful heart regeneration occur at specific times over 24 hours and disturbing these day-night rhythms affects cardiomyocyte metabolism, cell cycle and regeneration.

A balanced circadian glycolytic rhythm drives cardiomyocyte cell cycle progression during fish heart regeneration | Gennaro Ruggiero

Did you know that our circadian clock—the internal rhythm that regulates our sleep-wake cycle—also plays a crucial role in heart regeneration? Most people don’t, and that’s exactly why I’m excited to ...
