Cardiac progenitor cells generate healthy tissue after heart attack
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Following a heart attack, the human body is incapable of repairing lost tissue due to the heart's inability to generate new muscle. However, treatment with heart progenitor cells could result in the formation of functional heart cells at injured sites. This new therapeutic approach is introd

Researchers find two protein pathways downregulated in postnatal heart
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Published today in Stem Cell Reports, researchers from the University of Minnesota Medical School discovered two signaling pathways that are downregulated in human hearts after birth. These pathways, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-AKT, lead to ma

Study explains why adults' hearts don't regenerate
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
As heart cells mature in mice, the number of communication pathways called nuclear pores dramatically decreases, according to new research from University of Pittsburgh and UPMC scientists. While this might protect the organ from damaging signals, it could also prevent adult heart cells from
