TL;DR: The capacity to generate cardiomyocytes in the adult human heart suggests that it may be rational to work toward the development of therapeutic strategies aimed at stimulating this process in cardiac pathologies.

TL;DR: It is concluded that neurons are generated throughout adulthood and that the rates are comparable in middle-aged humans and mice, suggesting that adult hippocampal neurogenesis may contribute to human brain function.

TL;DR: It is reported that the full complement of cardiomyocytes is established perinataly and remains stable over the human lifespan, whereas the numbers of both endothelial and mesenchymal cells increase substantially from birth to early adulthood.

TL;DR: It is shown that in adult humans new neurons integrate in the striatum, which is adjacent to this neurogenic niche, and this findings demonstrate a unique pattern of neurogenesis in the adult human brain.

TL;DR: It is concluded that oligodendrocyte turnover contributes minimally to myelin modulation in human white matter and that this instead may be carried out by mature oligodendedrocytes, which may facilitate rapid neural plasticity.
