Cardiac regeneration: epicardial mediated repair
The hearts of lower vertebrates such as fish and salamanders display scarless regeneration following injury, although this feature is lost in adult mammals. The remarkable capacity of the neonatal mammalian heart to regenerate suggests that the underlying machinery required for the regenerative process is evolutionarily retained. Recent studies highlight the epicardial covering of the heart as ...
متن کاملHeme oxygenase in cardiac repair and regeneration.
The incidence of cardiac complications such as myocardial infarction and congestive heart failure is increasing. Once congestive heart failure emerges, little can be done to improve long-term cardiac function. The cellular basis of this downward spiral may be the dramatic loss of viable cardiomyocytes following acute ischemia and/or chronic apoptosis/necrosis which are not adequately replaced. ...
متن کاملApplication of Biomaterials in Cardiac Repair and Regeneration
Article history: Received 24 November 2015 Revised 7 March 2016 Accepted 9 March 2016 Available online 31 March 2016 Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death throughout the world. The demand for new therapeutic interventions is increasing. Although pharmacological and surgical interventions dramatically improve the quality of life of cardiovascular disease patients, cheaper and less i...
متن کاملEpicardial regeneration is guided by cardiac outflow tract and Hh signaling
In response to cardiac damage, a mesothelial tissue layer enveloping the heart called the epicardium is activated to proliferate and accumulate at the injury site. Recent studies have implicated the epicardium in multiple aspects of cardiac repair: a source of paracrine signals for cardiomyocyte survival or proliferation; a supply of perivascular cells and possibly other cell types like cardiom...
متن کاملFunctional Relevance of Macrophage-mediated Inflammation to Cardiac Regeneration
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide and regenerative medicine is a promising therapeutic option for this disease. We have developed various techniques to attenuate the cardiac remodeling and to regenerate cardiovascular systems via stem cell application. Besides cell therapy, we are interested in the modulation of pathological inflammation mediated by macrophages...
