Poss and colleagues reviewed zebrafish as a model for regeneration, including their remarkable ability to regrow fins.
As reported in: Poss, Keating, Nechiporuk (2003). Tales of regeneration in zebrafish. Developmental Dynamics. doi:10.1002/dvdy.10220
Poss, Wilson and Keating showed zebrafish fully regenerate their hearts within 2 months after 20% of the ventricle is removed, by cardiomyocyte proliferation instead of scarring.
