  6. Mechanistic Insight of Zebrafish Heart Regeneration • Research done by Jopling et al. • Barcelona, Spain.

  7. Preparation • Transgenic zebrafish were generated in which 4-OHT-inducble Cre in under the control of the cardiomyocyte-specific cmlc2a promoter. • The reporter construct used the same cmlc2a promoter followed by a floxed stop cassette and enhanced green fluorescent protein. • Removal of the stop cassette by Cre allows the cmlc2a promoter within the transgene to drive the expression of GFP.
