Zebrafish can heal their damaged hearts. Humans hearts retain scars of earlier injuries.
In a new article published in the journal Science, titled “Krüppel-like factor 1 is a core cardiomyogenic trigger in zebrafish,” scientists from the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute in Sydney report finding a new genetic switch that could help damaged human heart muscles repair after a cardiac arrest.
Kazu Kikuchi, PhD, who led this research, says, “Our research has identified a secret switch that allows…
