#Regeneration of fins and limbs relies on shared cellular playbook
Immune cells, blood and repair #genes act in concert across three regenerating #vertebrates
Team cut fins off #bichirs and tracked #gene activity at wound after one, three and seven days, which revealed types of cells present and activity. Team compared data to similar new and existing data about #axolotl, salamander that regrows limbs, and #zebrafish, a that can regrow tips of fins
