Progesterone, via Yes-Associated Protein (YAP), Promotes Cardiomyocyte Proliferation and Cardiac Repair

Progesterone supplementation enhanced cardiomyocyte proliferation in a progesterone receptor‐dependent manner. Progesterone up‐regulated YAP expression and knockdown of YAP by small interfering RNA reduced progesterone‐mediated cardiomyocyte proliferative effect.

Transplanted Microvessels Improve Pluripotent Stem Cell–Derived Cardiomyocyte Engraftment and Cardiac Function after Infarction in Rats

Ready-made microvessels promoted a sixfold increase in human induced pluripotent stem cell–derived cardiomyocyte (hiPSC-CM) survival and superior functional recovery when compared to hiPSC-CMs transplanted alone or cotransplanted with a suspension of dissociated endothelial cells in infarcted rat hearts.
