Nkx2.5: a crucial regulator of cardiac development, regeneration and diseases
6 Dec 2023
Abstract excerpt
Cardiomyocytes fail to regenerate after birth and respond to mitotic signals through cellular hypertrophy rather than cellular proliferation. Necrotic cardiomyocytes in the infarcted ventricular tissue are eventually replaced by fibroblasts, generating scar tissue. Cardiomyocyte loss causes localized systolic dysfunction. Therefore, achieving the regeneration of cardiomyocytes is of great significance for cardiac...
