In vivo cell and tissue dynamics underlying zebrafish fin fold regeneration.

<h4>Background</h4>Zebrafish (Danio rerio) has a remarkable capacity to regenerate many organs and tissues. During larval stages the fin fold allows the possibility of performing long time-lapse imaging making this system very appealing to study the relationships between tissue movements...
