Abstract
Recent studies have questioned the accepted dogma that the regenerative capacity of the heart following injury is limited. Several apparently distinct populations of resident cardiac progenitor cells may have the potential to regenerate functional heart muscle. Despite this progress, the physiologic role and therapeutic potential of cardiac resident progenitor cells remain unclear.
