Regeneration of Heart?

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

In all one’s life, the blood, hair and skin cells can be continuously regenerated, but the heart cells lose proliferative capacity soon after birth. UCLA researchers first clarified the reasons why adult heart can not regenerate. The study, published in a recently Journal of Cell Biology, could help people reprogram the patient's heart, so that Cardiomyocytes cells can regain the ability to repair itself.More at http://www.creativebiomart.net/blog/regeneration-of-heart/

Regeneration of Heart?In all ones life, the blood, hair and skin cells can be continuously regenerated, but the heartcells lose proliferative capacity soon after birth. UCL researchers first clarified the reasons!hy adult heart can not regenerate. "he study, published in a recently #ournal of Cell $iology,could help people reprogra% the patient&s heart, so that Cardio%yocytes cells can regain theability to repair itself.In the first !eek after birth, the %a%%alian heart can be regenerated, but this capability !illsoon be lost.
