Zebrafish are teleosts (bony fish) that share with mammals a common ancestor belonging to
the phylum Osteichthyes, from which their endoskeletal systems have been inherited …

Complex tissue regeneration involves exquisitely coordinated proliferation and patterning of
adult cells after severe injury or amputation. Certain lower vertebrates such as urodele …

INTRODUCTION The ability to regenerate tissues lost to damage or disease is widely but
nonuniformly distributed in vertebrates. Some animals such as teleost fishes can regenerate …

Although evolutionary developmental biology is a new field, its origins lie in the last century;
the search for connections between embryonic development (ontogeny) and evolutionary …

In contrast to mammals, lower vertebrates have a remarkable capacity to regenerate
complex structures damaged by injury or disease. This process, termed epimorphic …

The zebrafish is ideal for studying embryogenesis and is increasingly applied to model
human disease. In these contexts, RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) provides mechanistic …

With the explosion of knowledge from molecular biology and the burgeoning interest in
generating or regenerating tissues or organs through various bioengineering or stem cell …

Several vertebrates display the ability to regenerate parts of their body after amputation.
During this process, differentiated cells reenter the cell cycle and proliferate to generate a …

The embryonic zebrafish model offers the power of whole-animal investigations (eg, intact
organism, functional homeostatic feedback mechanisms, and intercellular signaling) with the …

Vertebrate Msx genes are unlinked, homeobox-containing genes that bear homology to the
Drosophila muscle segment homeobox gene. These genes are expressed at multiple sites …
