Investigating the regenerative potential of the neonatal mouse heart

Abstract:

After myocardial infarction (MI), the adult human heart is unable to regenerate lost tissue, leading to scarring, pathological remodelling and eventual progression to heart failure. There is currently no known “cure” other than the limited option of heart transplantation. The study of animal models that can intrinsically regenerate their heart offers potential insights into how to therapeutically target tissue restoration. Whilst regeneration is widely accepted for some amphibians and species...
