Mechanisms that drive cardiomyocyte proliferation during zebrafish heart regeneration
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the developed world. Adult mammals cannot replace lost cardiac tissue after injury, leading to reduced quality of life and increased instances of future cardiac issues.

miR-31a-5p promotes postnatal cardiomyocyte proliferation by targeting RhoBTB1
A limited number of microRNAs (miRNAs, miRs) have been reported to control postnatal cardiomyocyte proliferation, but their strong regulatory effects suggest a possible therapeutic approach to stimulate regenerative capacity in the diseased myocardium ...

The neonatal mammalian heart has a remarkable regenerative capacity, while the adult heart has difficulty to regenerate. A metabolic reprogramming from glycolysis to fatty acid oxidation occurs along with the loss of cardiomyocyte proliferative capacity ...

Modulation of TNFα Activity by the microRNA Let-7 Coordinates Zebrafish Heart Regeneration
Summary: The adult zebrafish is capable of regenerating heart muscle, resolving collagen tissue, and fully restoring heart function throughout its life. In this study, we show that the highly upregulated, epicardium-enriched microRNA let-7i functions in ...

Cardiac regeneration based on mechanisms of cardiomyocyte proliferation and differentiation
Cardiomyocyte proliferation and progenitor differentiation are endogenous mechanisms of myocardial development. Cardiomyocytes continue to proliferate in mammals for part of post-natal development.

CDK9 and its repressor LARP7 modulate cardiomyocyte proliferation and response to injury in the zebrafish heart [PDF]
Cyclin dependent kinase (Cdk)9 acts through the positive transcription elongation factor-b (P-TEFb) complex to activate and expand transcription through RNA polymerase II. It has also been shown to regulate cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, with recent evidence

Measuring cardiomyocyte cell-cycle activity and proliferation in the age of heart regeneration.
During the past two decades, the field of mammalian myocardial regeneration has grown dramatically, and with this expanded interest comes increasing claims of experimental manipulations that mediate bona fide proliferation of cardiomyocytes.

Malat1 deficiency prevents neonatal heart regeneration by inducing cardiomyocyte binucleation
The adult mammalian heart has limited regenerative capacity, while the neonatal heart fully regenerates during the first week of life. Postnatal regeneration is mainly driven by proliferation of preexisting cardiomyocytes and supported by proregenerative

Cardiomyocyte maturation and proliferation is a flip coin
Cardiac regeneration offers a promising approach to treating ischemic heart disease. Accumulating evidence indicates that maturation limits the proliferative capacity of the adult myocardium. During cardiac development, cardiomyocytes (CMs) undergo genetic reprogramming, leading to maturation characterized by polyploid CMs, increased sarcomere rigidity,

The Cytoskeletal Structure in Cardiomyocyte Maturation and Proliferation
The adult heart has a limited ability to regenerate, which is partly due to the structural and metabolic specialization that cardiomyocytes (CMs) acquire during postnatal maturation. In this review, we explore how cytoskeletal remodeling, metabolic reprogramming, and interactions with the extracellular matrix (ECM) regulate CM maturation, proliferation,
