Cryo‐injury procedure‐induced cardiac regeneration shows unique gene expression profiles in the newt <i>Pleurodeles waltl</i>

Abstract

Notably, we established a cryo-injury procedure for the newt and confirmed that regeneration of the cryo-damaged myocardial tissue is achieved by changes in gene expression that are milder than those observed in the amputation model. Our results suggest that the cryo-injury method is suitable for comparing the process of cardiac regeneration in the newt with that in other animal models.
