Restoration of anatomical continuity after spinal cord transection depends on Wnt/β-catenin signaling in larval zebrafish

This data article contains descriptive and experimental data on spinal cord regeneration in larval zebrafish and its dependence on Wnt/beta-catenin signaling. Analyzing spread of intraspinally injected fluorescent dextran showed that anatomical continuity is rapidly restored after complete spinal cord transection. Pharmacological interference with Wnt/beta-catenin signaling (IWR-1) impaired restoration of spinal continuity.
