Key Gene for Regenerating Cells After Heart Attack Pinpointed

Researchers have pinpointed a molecular mechanism needed to unleash the heart's ability to regenerate, a critical step toward developing eventual therapies for damage suffered following a heart attack. Cardiologists and molecular biologists at UT Southwestern Medical Center teaming up to study in mice how heart tissue regenerates, found that microRNAs - tiny strands that regulate gene expression - contribute to the heart's ability to regenerate up to one week after ...
