Abstract
Small teleost fishes such as zebrafish and medaka show remarkable regeneration capabilities upon tissue injury or amputation. To elucidate cellular mechanisms of teleost tissue repair and regeneration processes, the Cre/LoxP recombination system for cell lineage tracing is a widely used technique. In this chapter, we describe protocols used for inducible Cre/LoxP recombination-mediated lineage tracing of osteoblast progenitors during medaka fin regeneration as well as during the repair of osteoporosis-like bone lesions in the medaka vertebral column. Our approach can be adapted for lineage tracing of other cell populations in the regenerating teleost fin or in other tissues undergoing repair.
