Myocardial cells are derived from two sources — the classical first heart field and a recently ... The number of labelled cells in such a clone gives an indication of the timing of ...

Previous studies have shown that new cardiomyocytes can be generated in the adult mammalian heart, but the source ... Genetically labelled cardiomyocytes derived from adult mouse hearts were ...

A study published today in the journal Developmental Cell uncovers new insights into how the heart forms during the earliest stages of embryonic development.

Newborn mice have shown the capacity for heart regeneration, but it is rapidly lost by seven days after birth. Approaches to extend this regenerative capacity in a mammalian model, from the ...

Some fish and amphibians – zebrafish, for example – can regenerate heart tissue when it is damaged. They can do this throughout their life, whereas adult mammals can’t: only mammalian ...
