Notch Inhibition Enhances Cardiac Reprogramming by Increasing MEF2C Transcriptional Activity

Notch Inhibition Enhances Cardiac Reprogramming by Increasing MEF2C Transcriptional Activity

Conversion of fibroblasts into functional cardiomyocytes represents a potential means of restoring cardiac function after myocardial infarction, but so far this process remains inefficient and little is known about its molecular mechanisms. Here we show that DAPT, a classical Notch inhibitor, enhanc...
