Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) causes the loss of millions of cardiomyocytes, and current treatments do not address this root issue. New therapies focus on stimulating cardiomyocyte division in the adult heart, inspired by the regenerative capacities of lower vertebrates and neonatal mice. This review explores strategies for heart regeneration, offers insights into cardiomyocyte proliferation, evaluates in vivo models, and discusses integrating in vitro human cardiac models to advance cardiac regeneration research.
期刊介绍:
Regenerative Medicine, an innovative online-only journal, aims to advance research in the field of repairing and regenerating damaged tissues and organs within the human body. As a part of the prestigious Nature Partner Journals series and in partnership with ARMI, this high-quality, open access journal serves as a platform for scientists to explore effective therapies that harness the body's natural regenerative capabilities. With a focus on understanding the fundamental mechanisms of tissue damage and regeneration, npj Regenerative Medicine actively encourages studies that bridge the gap between basic research and clinical tissue repair strategies.
