At the Heart of Research
Scientists at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles discover a mechanism that zebrafish use to regenerate damaged heart tissue. This research could lead to better treatments for babies in need of heart repair.

Cardiac lymphatic vessels (seen here in red) in the zebrafish heart help the fish repair damaged tissue after injury.
One of the reasons coronary heart...
A Higher Resolution Image of Human Lung Development
The invention of interactive map applications has revolutionized wayfinding, providing an unprecedented level of information far beyond what printed road maps can offer. Researchers at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles are giving us a similar look into the anatomy of the human lung, and their findings could help babies breathe easier.
Infants born prematurely often suffer...

Peter Chiarelli, MD, PhD Wins Prestigious Award for Nanoparticle Research
When it comes to pediatric brain cancers, research and treatments have made great strides. But some cancers do not respond to conventional treatments or grow deep within delicate areas of the brain, where surgical removal can be impossible.
Peter Chiarelli, MD, PhD, has received an award to support his research in...
Precision Medicine for Pediatric Cancer
Research performed over the last several decades has led to an increased understanding of the genetics of cancer. The clinical application of this knowledge for pediatric cancer has lagged behind studies performed for adults. In a perspectives article published in the prestigious journal Science, Dr. Jaclyn Biegel, from Children’s Hospital Los...
