- 1Altering heart cell metabolism may trigger self-repair after attacks●Modifying heart cell metabolism unlocks self-repair system after heart attack
Researchers report that changing the metabolism of heart cells can unlock an inherent self-repair mechanism following a heart attack. The finding suggests a potential new route to regenerating damaged heart tissue, a long-standing goal in cardiology since adult heart muscle repairs itself poorly. Details of the study, including the model used and clinical implications, were not provided.
