Benzyl isothiocyanate induces heart regeneration. [PDF]
Mammalian cardiomyocytes are arrested from the cell cycle shortly after birth, and therefore mammals lose the ability to regenerate injured myocardium for the rest of their lives. Pharmacological induction of cardiomyocyte proliferation has gained a lot of interest in recent years, as researchers strive to achieve heart tissue regeneration.
