"Zebrafish Heart Regeneration HHMI BioInteractive video The zebrafish heart is similar to the human heart in many respects. But unlike the human heart the fish heart closes wounds rapidly and then regenerates to nearly full function. When the zebrafish heart is damaged the wound site is rapidly sealed with a fibrin clot that stems bleeding within seconds. Following clot formation the tissue that surrounds the heart musclethe epicardiumgradually covers the fibrin clot via migration and cell division. Over the next few months new cardiac muscle is produced and replaces the clot. Growth factors"
