Article Synopsis
- - Research on zebrafish fins, which possess strong regenerative abilities, reveals that miRNAs (small regulatory molecules) play a significant role in controlling gene expression during fin regeneration.
- - When miRNA agomirs were injected into zebrafish, blastema cell proliferation and overall fin regeneration were notably reduced due to the suppression of specific genes and proteins linked to blastocyte formation, notably those in the Hippo signaling pathway.
- - The study also found that miRNAs negatively impact the regeneration of fin rays by inhibiting bone-related gene expression, providing insights for future research on bone reconstruction in aquatic vertebrates.
