Abstract:Cardiomyocytes in the adult mammalian heart have a low turnover during homeostasis. After myocardial injury, there is irreversible loss of cardiomyocytes, which results in subsequent scar formation and cardiac remodeling. In order to better understand and characterize the proliferative capacity of cardiomyocytes, in vivo methods have been developed to track their fate during normal development and after injury. Lineage tracing models are of particular interest due to their ability to record cell proliferation … Show more
