| Summary: | In the spring of 2018, Harvard Medical School and the Brigham and Women’s Hospital reported the retraction of 31 articles of Dr. Piero Anversa lab, who have been studying heart stem cells for more than 15 years, due to the fact that these articles “included falsified and/or fabricated data”. This extremely unpleasant incident cast suspicion on other research groups studying regenerative effects ofcells harvested from the myocardium. It contributed to skeptical opinion about thepossibilities of regenerative technologies in cardiology in general and the complete denial of any regenerative potential of heart. This review presents an analysis of Dr. Piero Anversa lab studies and other works devoted to the study of regenerative processes in the heart, a modern view on the mechanisms of the heart regenerative potential and the regenerative effects of progenitor cells harvested from the myocardium, and the prospects for the development of cellular technologies in cardiology. |
