Adult spiny mice (Acomys) exhibit endogenous cardiac recovery in response to myocardial infarction
Abstract Complex tissue regeneration is extremely rare among adult mammals. An exception, however, is the superior tissue healing of multiple organs in spiny mice (Acomys). While Acomys species exhibit the remarkable ability to heal complex tissue with minimal scarring, little is known about their c...
