Abstract
The discovery of a protein that stimulates cell migration and survival in damaged mouse hearts suggests a potential new approach to the treatment of heart attacks.
The death of heart muscle cells, unmatched by the generation of replacement cells, is ultimately a basis for death from heart disease. This concept of heart failure as a muscle-cell-deficiency disorder has prompted vigorous investigation of ways to replace or protect the endangered cell, including gene and cell therapies.
