BMP signaling promotes zebrafish heart regeneration via alleviation of replication stress | Nature Communications In contrast to mammals, adult zebrafish achieve complete heart regeneration via proliferation of cardiomyocytes. Surprisingly, we found that regenerating cardiomyocytes experience DNA replication stress, which represents one reason for declining tissue regeneration during aging in mammals. Pharmacological inhibition of ATM and ATR kinases revealed that DNA damage response signaling is essential for zebrafish heart regeneration. Manipulation of Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP)-Smad signaling using transgenics and mutants showed that BMP signaling alleviates cardiomyocyte replication stress. BMP signaling also rescues neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes, human fibroblasts and human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) from replication stress. DNA fiber spreading assays indicate that BMP signaling facilitates re-start of replication forks after replication stress-induced stalling. Our results identify the ability to overcome replication stress as key factor for the elevated zebrafish

BMP signaling boosts zebrafish heart regeneration by easing DNA replication stress, as discovered by inhibiting ATM and ATR. Key for complete renewal! #HeartScience PMID:39962064, Nat Commun 2025, @NatureComms https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-56993-6 #Medsky #Pharmsky #RNAsky 🧪
