A research team at the Max Delbrück Center has uncovered how the heart forms new arteries, which could advance therapies for regenerating heart tissue after a heart attack. Through single-cell sequencing, they identified pre-arterial cells in the heart that are crucial for artery development. These findings could lead to new treatments that promote the regeneration of coronary vessels, offering better options for treating heart damage.
