A new review published in Genes & Diseases highlights macrophage-targeted therapy as a promising frontier in cardiac regeneration and myocardial repair. The findings underscore the critical role of ...

Can the heart physiology of zebrafish help treat human heart conditions? This is what a recent study published in Biology Open hopes to address as a team of researchers from the University of Utah ...

An international research team, coordinated by academics from the University of Bologna and the IRCCS - Policlinico Sant’Orsola Hospital, has identified a key growth factor capable of exerting a ...

Human hearts can regrow muscle cells after heart attacks, opening new possibilities for reversing heart failure instead of ...

This Collection seeks to shape our field’s understanding of cardiac regeneration today with a broad scope of research and translational studies to inspire ongoing efforts to create novel treatments ...

Adult human hearts possess limited regenerative abilities, so losing cardiomyocytes (CMs) after injury can result in contractile dysfunction and heart failure. In contrast, neonatal mammalian hearts ...

Two commonly used FDA-approved antibiotics have been shown to induce mammalian cardiomyocyte proliferation and heart regeneration. Through a mixture of biochemical and computational screening, ...

Scientists have found that the human heart can regenerate muscle cells after a heart ...

Researchers in the Michael E. DeBakey Department of Surgery at Baylor College of Medicine, the QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute in Brisbane, Australia, and collaborating institutions report a ...

Regenerative heart therapies involve transplanting cardiac muscle cells into damaged areas of the heart to recover lost function. However, the risk of arrhythmias following this procedure is ...

For the first time, scientists have shown that heart muscle cells can regrow after a heart attack in humans, a process that ...
