Inima se poate regenera după infarct. Descoperirea care schimbă ce știam despre mușchiul cardiac

A recent Australian study reveals that the human heart can regenerate some muscle cells after a heart attack, challenging previous beliefs about cardiac tissue's inability to heal. While this natural regeneration is limited and insufficient to fully restore lost tissue, understanding the underlying mechanisms may lead to future treatments that enhance this process. The research, conducted by the University of Sydney and published in Circulation Research, utilized living cardiac tissue samples from patients, allowing for more accurate studies of heart biology. The findings could pave the way for therapies aimed at producing new cardiac cells to combat heart failure.
