The Heart
Delivers oxygen and nutrients to all parts of your body

Why research heart regeneration and ageing?
AgeingHeart attack
• 1 billion muscle cells killed (20%)• Need to replace these cells
42 million beats every year
Increased chance
Poorer recovery

Skin injury
Stem cells
Regeneration in other organs
Stem cells
Normal ageing

Heart injury
Scar
The heart cannot regenerate and heal itself
Regeneration in the heart
Ageing
Same cellsNo replacement of lost cells
Heart Attack
Healthy

How do you mend a broken heart?

Don`t work as we expected
Stem cell transplants work
• Better pumping function • Increased health in patients
Different types of stem cells
New muscle cellsNot from transplanted cells

Can the heart regenerate after
all?
![Page 12: Heart Regeneration and Ageing - Newcastle University](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012522/6195ed1838a2096d27235f95/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Our questions
1. Can the heart replace muscle cells?
2. Does the heart make more muscle cells in order to heal itself after injury?
3. What happens to this ability as we age
? ?

Can the heart make new muscle cells?Does the heart attempt to heal itself?

Heart failureHealthy heart
The heart can make new cellsAnd attempts to heal itself
The healthy heart makes new muscle cells In hearts with heart failure the heart increases the
rate of new muscle cells generation

So how do stem cell Transplants work?
• Better pumping function • Increased health in patients
Different types of stem cells

If the heart can make new muscle cells why does it get old?
If we can keep making new heart muscle cells
then why does the heart not work as well
when we are older?
![Page 19: Heart Regeneration and Ageing - Newcastle University](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012522/6195ed1838a2096d27235f95/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What happens to regeneration as we age?
Ageing
![Page 20: Heart Regeneration and Ageing - Newcastle University](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012522/6195ed1838a2096d27235f95/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The ability to make new muscle cells decreases with age
Young heathy
Young heart failure
Old healthy
Old heart failure

Regeneration and ageingThe bad news
![Page 22: Heart Regeneration and Ageing - Newcastle University](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012522/6195ed1838a2096d27235f95/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• We have an understanding of why the heart ages
• The heart can make new muscle cells– Attempts to heal itself– This isn`t enough to heal the heart
Regeneration and ageingThe good news
Ageing
• This can be increased by chemicals produced by stem cells
? ? ? What are these?
Therapy
