New collaborative research from MRC WIMM researchers and the Mommersteeg Group in the Department of Physiology, Anatomy & Genetics at the University of Oxford shows that a protein called Runx1 plays a significant role in the formation of the cardiac scar that forms after the heart is injured, a scar that is known to inhibit heart regeneration. In the zebrafish, a freshwater fish known to be able to fully regenerate its heart after damage, they show that the absence of Runx1 results in enhanced regeneration. This indicates a potential new therapeutic target for heart repair.

Public Engagement
At the MRC WIMM, MRC TIDU and MRC MHU, we value public engagement. We believe that sharing our science and working with the wider community improves the quality of scientific research.
Sample Tracking (Open Specimen)
Open Specimen is a biobanking Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). We use it at the WIMM to store information and location data for both HTA- and non-HTA-relevant specimens.
