    While exciting that there is active research, this is not new news.  The mystery mechanisms that control this regenerative activity are the presence of Neuregulin-1,  a cardioactive growth factor released from endothelial cells which stimulates ERBB receptors.  My understanding is both are present at birth but decrease substantially just days after birth.  The really interesting question is, how to we get them back?
