Activation of Nkx2.5 transcriptional program is required for adult myocardial repair

Cardiac developmental genes have been associated with regenerative potential. Here the authors identify a Nkx2.5-dependent gene regulatory network operating through ect2, psmb3, and psmd7 to orchestrate cell cycle re-entry, proteolysis, and mitochondrial metabolism during myocardial repair.
