Abstract
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is a rapidly developing and useful technique for elucidating biological mechanisms and characterizing individual cells. Tens of millions of patients worldwide suffer from heart injuries and other types of heart disease. Neonatal mammalian hearts and certain adult vertebrate species, such as zebrafish, can fully regenerate after myocardial injury. However, the adult mammalian heart is unable to regenerate the damaged myocardium. scRNA-seq provides many new insights into pathological and normal hearts and facilitates our understanding of cellular responses to cardiac injury and repair at different stages, which may provide critical clues for effective therapies for adult heart regeneration. In this review, we summarize the application of scRNA-seq in heart development and regeneration and describe how important molecular mechanisms can be harnessed to promote heart regeneration.
期刊介绍：
As of January 2000, Developmental Genetics was renamed and relaunched as genesis: The Journal of Genetics and Development, with a new scope and Editorial Board. The journal focuses on work that addresses the genetics of development and the fundamental mechanisms of embryological processes in animals and plants. With increased awareness of the interplay between genetics and evolutionary change, particularly during developmental processes, we encourage submission of manuscripts from all ecological niches. The expanded numbers of genomes for which sequencing is being completed will facilitate genetic and genomic examination of developmental issues, even if the model system does not fit the “classical genetic” mold. Therefore, we encourage submission of manuscripts from all species. Other areas of particular interest include: 1) the roles of epigenetics, microRNAs and environment on developmental processes; 2) genome-wide studies; 3) novel imaging techniques for the study of gene expression and cellular function; 4) comparative genetics and genomics and 5) animal models of human genetic and developmental disorders.
genesis presents reviews, full research articles, short research letters, and state-of-the-art technology reports that promote an understanding of the function of genes and the roles they play in complex developmental processes.
