Researchers have discovered a mechanism involving LRRC10 in zebrafish that promotes the maturation of heart muscle cells during the regeneration process. This finding, applicable to human cells, could lead to new treatments for cardiovascular diseases by replacing lost heart tissue. The study shows that examining the natural heart regeneration process in zebrafish and applying these discoveries to human heart muscle cells may contribute to the development of therapies against cardiovascular diseases, which are a leading cause of death worldwide.

Scientists at the University of Washington School of Medicine have used CRISPR-based genome editing to create stem cells that do not cause dangerous arrhythmias, a major complication previously hindering stem-cell therapies for injured hearts. The team created a new line of cells called “MEDUSA,” which engraft in the heart, mature, and integrate into heart muscle without generating dangerous heart rates. This breakthrough could pave the way for safe and effective stem cell therapy for heart regeneration.
