Macrophages in cardiac repair: Environmental cues and therapeutic strategies

Abstract excerpt

Mammals, in contrast to urodeles and teleost fish, lose the ability to regenerate their hearts soon after birth. Central to this regenerative response are cardiac macrophages, which comprise a heterogeneous population of cells with origins from the yolk sac, fetal liver, and bone marrow.
