Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alena Boos"
Alena Boos' research primarily focuses on cardiac biology, particularly the mechanisms of cardiomyocyte proliferation and heart regeneration in zebrafish models, which provide insights into potential therapeutic approaches for human heart diseases.
Recent findings highlight the critical role of the Nexilin protein in cardiac function and a novel CRISPR/Cas9 zebrafish model that elucidates how nexin deficiency affects heart morphology and performance.
Additionally, her studies reveal the importance of Histone deacetylase 1 (Hdac1) in regulating cardiomyocyte cell cycle progression, signaling a potential pathway to enhance heart regeneration following injury.
