Age‐associated metabolic and epigenetic barriers during direct reprogramming of mouse fibroblasts into induced cardiomyocytes
14 Nov 2024
Abstract excerpt
Heart disease is the leading cause of mortality in developed countries, and novel regenerative procedures are warranted. Direct cardiac conversion (DCC) of adult fibroblasts can create induced cardiomyocytes (iCMs) for gene and cell-based heart therapy, and in addition to holding great promise, still lacks effectiveness as metabolic and age-associated barriers remain elusive. Here, by employing MGT (Mef2c, Gata4,...
