New research indicates that genetic defects in zebrafish embryos can activate embryonic regeneration programs, allowing damaged tissue to be repaired. The findings offer a window into how developmental and regenerative pathways interact, and why some organisms recover from injury far better than others. Scientists say zebrafish, already a model organism for regeneration studies, may help explain why humans lack comparable repair abilities.
