Regeneration programs buffer genetic defects in animal development Researchers utilizing zebrafish models have discovered that biological tissue regeneration programs can be spontaneously activated by intrinsic genetic defects, effectively acting as a mechanism to buffer developmental abnormalities. The study employed an ENU mutagenesis screen targeting the pro-regenerative factor gene fgf20a to…
