Abstract
A long-standing goal of cardiovascular scientists is to repair damaged hearts following myocardial infarction by overcoming the limited regenerative capacity of the adult mammalian heart. A number of new strategies are being actively investigated for generating functional cardiomyocytes or progenitor cells. The race is on for the first demonstration of durable therapeutic heart repair in human.
