High-Resolution Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Regenerating Adult Zebrafish Heart

Abstract The adult zebrafish is a well-established model for studying heart regeneration, but due to its tissue opaqueness, repair has been primarily assessed using destructive histology, precluding repeated investigations of the same animal. We present a high-resolution, non-invasive in vivo magnet...
