Cell Competition Promotes Phenotypically Silent Cardiomyocyte Replacement in the Mammalian Heart

Heterogeneous anabolic capacity in cell populations can trigger a phenomenon known as cell competition, through which less active cells are eliminated. Cell competition has been induced experimentally in stem/precursor cell populations in insects and mammals and takes place endogenously in early mou...
