There is no pot of gold at the end of this rainbow There is no pot of gold at the end of this rainbow, but there sure is some golden research happening 🌈
 
In this image, an injured zebrafish tendon (bright orange) stretches upward like it’s chasing a rainbow, rebuilding a brand-new connection (teal-lime green) to bone (deep purple). Unlike humans, zebrafish can naturally regenerate this attachment after injury.

Using spatial transcriptomics, researcher Stephanie Tsai, PhD, from the lab of Jenna Galloway, PhD, can create images like this to map exactly where and when hundreds of genes switch on and off during this repair process, revealing the “lucky charm” behind perfect tendon healing.
