Find out how to regenerate the number of heart muscle cells

Australian scientists study the method of heart muscle regeneration and believe that in the future this method may help treat heart attack patients.

Find out how to regenerate heart muscle

According to Victor Chang's Heart Research Specialist Richard Harvey, after the birth, the body system involved in the ability to grow cells is no longer active and has long been reconstructed parts of the heart. can. " Some previous studies have shown that cardiomyopathy can be performed, but only on a clinical or therapeutic level. This study indicates a higher level of success if conducted in the suit , " he said.

Harvey and colleagues at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel say that it is possible to regenerate the number of cardiac muscle cells by 45% by increasing the amount of hormones that regulate the growth of cells. They focused on the cardiac signaling system controlled by the hormone neuregulin, then further studied how to replace damaged tissue and stimulate the process with drugs. When reconstructing damaged heart tissue, the treatment of heart attacks will have more options.

"It takes a few years to determine if a regenerated cardiac muscle cell can work in the human body and for at least another five years before developing any therapeutic application," Sydney Morning Herald quoted Harvey. share.

Serious heart attacks can cause lifelong consequences such as heart failure, heart enlargement, softness and inability to pump blood . The only treatment is a heart transplant but the number of donated hearts is very limited.
