Measuring regrowth: Erk gradients guide zebrafish fins back to their original size after injury

The Quick Take
In a new Nature Physics study, researchers found that fin regrowth in zebrafish is driven by a brief burst of growth signal at the fin tip, sized to the amount lost, which sets up gradients of Erk activity that guide the regrowth.
