SLIDE 14 Future Plans
- Investigate the role of GbX in the blood coagulation process during heart
regeneration
- Evaluate the possible involvement of other globins in
mediating the effect of nitrite. Cytoglobin 1 is found in the fish epicardium: important during regeneration?
- Generate Talen and CRISPr knockout
