Heart Tissue Regeneration through Cell Cycle Tweaks

Researchers at the Gladstone Institutes say they have developed an efficient and stable method to make adult cardiomyocytes divide and repair hearts damaged by heart attacks. They published their study (“ Regulation of Cell Cycle to Stimulate Adult Cardiomyocyte Proliferation and Cardiac Regeneration ”) in Cell .“Human diseases are often caused by loss of somatic cells that are incapable of re-entering the cell cycle for regenerative repair. Here, we report a combination o
