Abstract
In mammal adolescence, cardiomyocytes rapidly exit the cell cycle, and heart regeneration in adults is limited after cardiac injury. Recent work by Li et al. in Nature revealed that inhibition of fatty acid oxidation can rewire cell metabolism and lead to epigenetic reprogramming of cardiomyocytes to an immature state that facilitates cardiomyocyte cell-cycle reentry and heart regeneration in adult animals.
