Making more heart muscle
Article Abstract:
Postnatally, heart muscle cells almost completely lose their ability to divide, which makes their loss after trauma irreversible. The relative late additions of heart muscle cells to the linear heart tube are described and the potential underlying molecular mechanism are discussed.
