Journal ArticleDOI

A microRNA-Hippo pathway that promotes cardiomyocyte proliferation and cardiac regeneration in mice

TL;DR: It is shown that the microRNA cluster miR302-367 is important for cardiomyocyte proliferation during development and is sufficient to induce cardiomeocyte proliferation in the adult and promote cardiac regeneration, and transient treatment with miR 302-367 mimics promoted cardiac regeneration in mice after myocardial infarction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasticity of Hopx + type I alveolar cells to regenerate type II cells in the lung

TL;DR: It is shown that Hopx becomes restricted to Type I cells during development and, unexpectedly, lineage-labeled Hopx+ cells both proliferate and generate Type II cells during adult alveolar regrowth following partial pneumonectomy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Integration of Bmp and Wnt signaling by Hopx specifies commitment of cardiomyoblasts

TL;DR: A specialized progenitor population that is committed exclusively to forming cardiomyocytes is identified and the mechanisms governing commitment to the myocyte lineage in vivo are identified, suggesting that Hopx promotes myogenesis by repressing Wnt signaling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lgr5 Identifies Progenitor Cells Capable of Taste Bud Regeneration after Injury.

TL;DR: It is confirmed and extended by demonstrating that Lgr5 cells give rise to both anterior and posterior taste buds during development, and are capable of regenerating anterior taste buds after injury induced by glossopharyngeal nerve transection.
