A change of heart? Cellular reprogramming reverses fibrosis after heart attack

by University of Tsukuba Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Researchers from Japan reveal that they may just have found a way to repair cardiac damage in patients suffering from chronic heart attack and heart failure. In a study published in Circulation, researchers from the University of Tsukuba have shown that changing heart cell programming by tweaking the...

Cellular Reprogramming, and the Goal of Separating Dedifferentiation from Epigenetic Rejuvenation

Rejuvenation takes place very early in embryonic development. The germline cells that go into the creation of an embryo are well protected and maintained in comparison to the average somatic cell in the adult body. Nonetheless, there is an accumulation of age-related epigenetic changes and molecular damage. Cells purge themselves of as much of this...
