Proud of our latest pre-print which describes a zebrafish model of Phospholamban (PLN) R14del mutation pathology. This mutation leads to the progression of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy in patient carriers, with high prevalence in the Netherlands(1/5)biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Zebrafish have the amazing ability to regenerate their heart after an injury... So why can’t we? In our latest publication, we review the most current literature on this exiting topic. It’s open access, so go check it out! Jeroen Bakkers lnkd.in/d-k9PjZ

A total of €155.000 was raised at the Stichting Hartekind event!👏🏼 Many thanks for putting us and our zebrafish heart regeneration research in the spotlight. 📷: when Hartekind Floris asked in the interview if I picked my dress because of the zebra stripes (I didn’t, but great bonus!)

We developed a method for live imaging of cardiomyocyte division in regenerating zebrafish hearts. See latest issue of Development for more on proliferation and sarcomere dynamics. doi.org/10.1242/dev.19…

Proud to have our work on Prrx1 during zebrafish heart regeneration published in Development! Check it out here: doi.org/10.1242/dev.19…

How to repair a damaged heart? The lab of Jeroen Bakkers studied #zebrafish and identified calcium handling as a key mechanism during #regeneration that decides if a #heart muscle cell divides or matures. Read more here: hubrecht.eu/how-to-repair-… Science Magazine Circulatory Health UMC Utrecht

📢 Exciting news! Our latest study, just published Science Magazine, uncovers a crucial mechanism that controls the division and maturation of heart muscle cells. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… More to follow 👇 #ScienceResearch

Great project by Phong from our lab! Happy to have contributed to the story.

Canoe trip in the canals of Utrecht city Instead of a normal day in the lab we all had a lot of fun in canoes on the beautiful canals of Utrecht 🌞

Thanks Nature Cardiovascular Research for highlighting our recent work on #cardiomyocyte maturation during 🩷 regeneration

Very proud that we have been awarded this Summit grant to study #regeneration using the #zebrafish model with this amazing group of scientist 🎉

Yesterday we received our DRIVE-RM summit grant from the minister of education Robbert Dijkgraaf to work with Marianne Verhaar, Jos Malda, Carlijn Bouten and Clemens van Blitterswijk and many others at 5 top institutes on regenerative biology for the next 10 years

Researchers from BakkersLab have successfully repaired damaged mouse hearts using a protein from zebrafish. This study marks a promising step toward regenerative therapies to prevent heart failure. Read more hubrecht.eu/zebrafish-prot… Dennis de Bakker Mara Bouwman Jeroen Bakkers

🫀 Zebrafish protein unlocks dormant genes for mammalian heart repair. Work by @Bouwman @deBakker et al published in Nature Cardiovascular Research uncovers how the protein HMGA1 could unlock mammalian heart repair. rdcu.be/d5owa #HeartHealth #Regeneration #Biomedicine #Cardiology
