Using zebrafish as a model, researchers from the Musculoskeletal Systems Biology Lab describe how wnt16 dually influences bone and muscle development and growth. Read More
A study from the Musculoskeletal Systems Biology Lab sheds a light on the characteristics of zebrafish cells that are able to differentiate from progenitor cells into bone cells, and then revert back to a progenitor state. Read More
In 2015, a team of inquisitive young scientists, absorbed in the study of metabolism, regeneration, and biological development, set out to answer a question. Could the way cells produce energy help explain why certain organisms have an envious ability to regenerate heart tissue after injury? And, if so, could that knowledge be used to help heal human hearts? Read More
