Transient activated fibroblasts contribute to zebrafish heart regeneration

In the zebrafish heart, several transient fibroblast types appear after injury. High-throughput lineage tracing revealed that injury-responsive fibroblasts are derived from two distinct lineage origins: the epicardium and the endocardium. Targeted cell-type-specific depletion showed that at least one fibroblast type has a critical role in heart regeneration
