Cardiac renewal

Cellular crosstalk to regenerate the injured heart

Nature Cardiovascular Research volume 3, pages 248–250 (2024)Cite this article

Subjects

The cellular microenvironment and interplay between cell types are essential for cardiac renewal. Combined single-cell and single-nucleus sequencing, spatial transcriptomics and loss-of-function experiments in constitutively YAP-expressing infarcted hearts reveal a cellular triad and complement signaling that evoke renewal of heart muscle.
