A Scientist's Exploration of Regeneration

Researcher Voot Yin has studied molecules important for coordinating regeneration in zebrafish, salamanders, and a ray-finned fish from Africa. He's found similar genetic mechanisms in mice and humans, suggesting that regeneration ability in mice and humans may lie dormant, ready to be awakened with the right signal. Recent research with adult mice in Yin’s lab holds promise that a given a molecule called MSI-1436 might someday help repair damage from heart attacks in humans.
