Ken Poss, who first discovered the fish could regenerate their heart tissue, moved his lab from Duke University to the Morgridge Institute at UW-Madison a year ago.

The Chun Liu Lab examines why some heart cells survive the cardiotoxicity caused by chemo – and how that insight can help prevent heart disease.

A decades-long effort and a fruitful collaboration could lead to a better quality of life for patients with this genetic blood disease.

The Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) signaling pathway is essential for the patterning, growth, and morphogenesis of many tissues. During early eye development, Shh is critical for the formation of the two optic ...
