Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT: The heart has historically been considered to be a non-regenerative organ. Recent insights have suggested that cardiomyocytes have a small but measurable ability to regenerate. Moreover, recent work has also shown that manipulating the expression of specific genetic pathways can improve the ability of the heart to repair itself. These new insights set the stage for the development of new treatments for heart failure.Entities:
