The role and even the existence of new myocyte formation in the adult heart remain controversial. Documentation of cell cycle regulators, deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis, and mitotic images has only in part modified the view that myocardial growth can be accomplished exclusively from hypertrophy of an irreplaceable population of differentiated myocytes.

The heart is a pump that is comprised of cardiac myocytes and other cell types and whose proper function is critical to quality of life. The ability to trigger regeneration of heart muscle following injury eludes adult mammals, a deficiency of great clinical impact.

Palliative surgery for congenital heart disease has allowed patients with previously lethal heart malformations to survive and, in most cases, to thrive. However, these procedures often place pressure and volume loads on the heart, and over time, these chronic loads can cause heart failure.

Cardiac Neural Crest and Cardiac Regeneration. [PDF]
Neural crest cells (NCCs) are a vertebrate-specific, multipotent stem cell population that have the ability to migrate and differentiate into various cell populations throughout the embryo during embryogenesis. The heart is a muscular and complex organ whose primary function is to pump blood and nutrients throughout the body.

See related article, pages 911–921 Despite current pharmacological and whole organ transplantation strategies, advanced heart failure remains a common and deadly disease.1 Limited availability of donor organs for use in orthotopic heart transplantation has prompted examination of alternative therapeutic strategies directed toward patients with ...

The Secretome of Irradiated Peripheral Mononuclear Cells Attenuates Hypertrophic Skin Scarring
Hypertrophic scars can cause pain, movement restrictions, and reduction in the quality of life. Despite numerous options to treat hypertrophic scarring, efficient therapies are still scarce, and cellular mechanisms are not well understood.

Mechanisms triggering hypertrophic scar formation remain poorly understood. Here the authors perform scRNA-seq on mature human hypertrophic scars and developing scars in mice to identify the serine proteases dipeptidyl-peptidase 4 and urokinase as key ...
