Heart Regeneration in Adult Mammals After Myocardial Damage
Overview
Affiliations
Heart regeneration remains a critical question in current basic research and clinical practice. The adult mammalian heart exhibits a very limited regeneration capacity. In contrast, adult zebrafish and neonatal mice retain a remarkable ability of heart regeneration after damage. Understanding the mechanisms of heart regeneration would be very valuable to help design efficient treatment strategies against myocardial damage and heart failure. While inherent regeneration of the heart occurs after damage with varying efficiency among species, regeneration may also be induced exogenously. In this study, we briefly review the different approaches and current progress in improving heart regeneration.
