Microchip can help scientists study the regenerative potential of mice heart cells – News-Medical.Net
Baby mice might be small, but they’re tough, too. For their first seven days of life, they have the special ability to regenerate damaged heart tissue.

Baby mice might be small, but they’re tough, too. For their first seven days of life, they have the special ability to regenerate damaged heart tissue.
Humans, on the other hand, aren’t so lucky: any heart injuries we suffer could lead to permanent damage. But what if we could learn to repair our hearts, just like baby mice?
A team of researchers led by UNSW Sydney have developed a microchip that can help scientists study the regenerative potential of mice heart cells. This microchip – which combines…
