Title: Harnessing Regenerative Power of interleukin11a (il11a) for the Heart Regeneration
Abstract: Balancing between regenerative processes and fibrosis is crucial for heart repair. I uncovered that il11a can trigger robust regenerative programs in zebrafish hearts. However, prolonged il11a induction in uninjured hearts also causes persistent fibroblast emergence, resulting in fibrosis. As fibrosis is detrimental for heart repair, I devised new strategy to harness regenerative function and simultaneously limit fibrotic role of il11a.
