Journal ArticleDOI

Developmental origin of a bipotential myocardial and smooth muscle cell precursor in the mammalian heart.

TL;DR: Results support the existence of a common precursor for cardiovascular lineages in the mammalian heart by isolating Nkx2.5(+) cells from mouse embryos and demonstrating their capacity for bipotential differentiation in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Control of early cardiac-specific transcription of Nkx2-5 by a GATA-dependent enhancer

TL;DR: A cardiac enhancer is described, located about 9 kilobases upstream of the Nkx2-5 gene, that fully recapitulates the expression pattern of the endogenous gene in cardiogenic precursor cells from the onset of cardiac lineage specification and throughout the linear and looping heart tube.
Journal ArticleDOI

fgf20 is essential for initiating zebrafish fin regeneration.

TL;DR: The devoid of blastema (dob) mutant is characterized that fails fin regeneration during initial steps, forms abnormal regeneration epithelium, and does not form blastema.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene Expression Analysis of Zebrafish Heart Regeneration

TL;DR: The data indicate that zebrafish heart regeneration is associated with sequentially upregulated wound healing genes and growth factors and suggest that PDGF signaling is required.
