چکیده
Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a teleost fish, common in home aquarium. This animal has emerged as a powerful model organism for studies of vertebrate development, diseases, biological pathways, toxicology mechanisms and organ regeneration. The adult teleost fish has the capacity to regenerate several organs, including their appendages, optic nerve, heart, spinal cord. These organs display poor regenerative potential in mammals.

Dynamic remodeling of the extra cellular matrix during zebrafish fin regeneration.
Extracellular matrix plays a dynamic role during the process of wound healing, embryogenesis and tissue regeneration. Caudal fin regeneration in zebrafish is an excellent model to study tissue and skeletal regeneration. We have analyzed the expression pattern of some of the well characterized ECM proteins during the process of caudal fin regeneration in zebrafish. Our results show that a transi...
متن کاملImpaired caudal fin‐fold regeneration in zebrafish deficient for the tumor suppressor Pten
Zebrafish are able to completely regrow their caudal fin-folds after amputation. Following injury, wound healing occurs, followed by the formation of a blastema, which produces cells to replace the lost tissue in the final phase of regenerative outgrowth. Here we show that, surprisingly, the phosphatase and tumor suppressor Pten, an antagonist of phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) signaling, is r...
متن کاملActivin-betaA signaling is required for zebrafish fin regeneration.
Vertebrate limb regeneration occurs in anamniotes such as newts, salamanders, and zebrafish. After appendage amputation, the resection site is covered by a wound epidermis capping the underlying mature tissues of the stump from which the blastema emerges. The blastema is a mass of progenitor cells that constitute an apical growth zone. During outgrowth formation, the proximal blastemal cells pr...
متن کاملBehaviour of Telomere and Telomerase during Aging and Regeneration in Zebrafish
Telomere length and telomerase activity are important factors in the pathobiology of human diseases. Age-related diseases and premature aging syndromes are characterized by short telomeres, which can compromise cell viability, whereas tumour cells can prevent telomere loss by aberrantly upregulating telomerase. The zebrafish (Danio rerio) offers multiple experimental manipulation advantages ove...
متن کاملAryl hydrocarbon receptor activation inhibits regenerative growth.
There is considerable literature supporting the conclusion that inappropriate activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) alters cellular signaling. We have established previously that fin regeneration is specifically inhibited by 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) in adult zebrafish and have used this in vivo endpoint to evaluate interactions between AHR and growth-controlling pa...
