A Watershed Finding for Heart Regeneration

Publication date: 21 February 2019Source: Cell, Volume 176, Issue 5Author(s): Evan S. Bardot, Nicole C. DuboisThe adult mammalian heart is minimally regenerative after injury, whereas neonatal hearts fully recover even after major damage. New work from the Red-Horse and Woo labs (Das et al., 2019) shows that collateral artery formation is a key mechanism contributing to successful regeneration in newborn mice and provides insights into how collateral arteries form.
