Wnt signaling is an evolutionary cell‐to‐cell coordination mechanism and it is highly critical for a variety of physiological processes of an organism's body, including stem cell regeneration, proliferation, division, migration, polarity of a cell, determining fate of the cell and specification of neural crest, neural symmetry and morphogenesis. Wnts are extracellular secreted glycol proteins, consisted of a family of 19 human proteins that represent the complex nature of the regulatory structure and physiological efficiency of signaling. Moreover, a Wnt/β‐catenin‐dependent pathway and the β‐catenin‐independent pathway that is further classified into the Planar Cell Polarity and Wnt/Ca2+ pathways have been established as key signaling nodes downstream of the frizzled (Fz/Fzd) receptor, and these nodes are extensively analyzed at biochemical and molecular levels. Genetic and epigenetic activities that ultimately characterize the pathway and its subsequent responses contribute to Wnt‐β‐catenin signaling pathway hypo or hyper‐activation and is associated with the variety of human disorders progression most significantly cancers. Recognizing how this mechanism operates is crucial to the advancement of cancer prevention therapies or regenerative medicine methods.

Maturation is the last step of heart growth that prepares the organ over the lifetime of the mammal for powerful, effective, and sustained pumping. Structural, gene expression, physiological, and functional specialties of cardiomyocytes describe this mechanism as the heart transits from fetus to adult phases. The main cornerstones of maturation of cardiomyocytes are reviewed and primary regulatory mechanisms are summarized to facilitate and organize these cellular activities. During embryonic development, cardiomyocytes proliferate rigorously but leave the cell cycle permanently immediately after the parturition of the child and experience terminal differentiation. The activation of a host of genes specific for the mature heart is correlated with the exit from the cell cycle. Even when exposed to mitogenic stimuli, the bulk of mature cardiomyocytes do not re-join the cell cycle. The reason for this permanent exit from the cell cycle is shown to be linked with stable switching off of the genes of the cell cycle directly involved in the G2/M transition phase and cytokinesis development. Researchers also trying to explain the molecular mechanism involved in stable inhibition of the gene and described structural changes (epigenetic and chromatin) in this mechanism. Substantial developments in the future with advances in the scientific platforms used for cardiomyocyte maturation research will broaden our understanding of this mechanism and result in better maturation of cardiomyocyte-derived pluripotent stem cells and effective treatment approaches for cardiovascular diseases.
