| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To understand the molecular processes of tissue regeneration, we aimed to elucidate the signalling mechanism and cellular functions that control the zebrafish fin regeneration. We analyzed the role of Fgf signals during regeneration and revealed the essential functions of Fgf20a and Fgf3. Further, we analyzed a mutant that displays the apoptosis of regenerating cells and showed that a diffusible substance from the myeloid cells supports the survival and proliferation of regenerating cells.
