In humans, new-born infants can regenerate their heart during early life. This is modelled in the mouse, where regenerative capacity is maintained for the first week after birth but lost thereafter. Reactivation of this process holds great therapeutic potential; however, the molecular pathways that might be targeted to extend neonatal regeneration remain elusive. Here, we explored a role for hypoxia and HIF signalling on the regulation of epicardial activity in the developing mouse heart and ...
