Fetal Myocardium in the Kidney Capsule: An In Vivo Model of Repopulation of Myocytes by Bone Marrow Cells

Debate surrounds the question of whether the heart is a post-mitotic organ in part due to the lack of an in vivo model in which myocytes are able to actively regenerate. The current study describes the first such mouse model — a fetal myocardial environment grafted into the adult kidney capsule. Her...
