Nanoparticle-mediated, slow-release delivery of TT-10 enhances heart attack recovery in mouse model

A heart attack kills heart muscle cells, leading to a scar that weakens the heart, often leading to eventual heart failure. The lack of muscle repair is due to the very limited ability of mammalian heart muscle cells to proliferate, except for a brief period around birth.
