New Study Shows Potential for Cardiac Regeneration After Heart Attack

Cardiac regeneration becomes possible 🔗

In mice reprogramming of energy metabolism restores cardiac function after infarction

The Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research conducted a groundbreaking study in mice, demonstrating that a change in the energy metabolism of heart muscle cells can enable cardiac regeneration after a heart attack. By reprogramming the metabolism and inactivating a specific gene, the researchers were able to trigger a significant increase in heart muscle cell numbers and a restoration of heart function. The study offers potential for new therapeutic approaches in humans, although further research and development are needed for reliable treatments.
