Unlike humans, zebrafish grow new heart muscle cells ... Typically, the Hmga1 protein is important during embryonic development when cells need to grow a lot. However, in adult cells, the gene ...

The Hmga1 gene is usually active during embryonic development but turned off in adult cells. However, the protein is active during heart regeneration in zebrafish but not in mice suggesting that ...

Heart attacks are dangerous not just because of the initial event, but the long-term damage afterwards. Now scientists have ...
