Abstract
The cellular mechanisms allowing tissues to efficiently regenerate are not fully understood. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Cao et al. (2017) discover that during zebrafish heart regeneration, epicardial cells at the leading edge of regenerating tissue undergo endoreplication, possibly due to increased tissue tension, thereby boosting their regenerative capacity.
