Exact excerpt

The results revealed an important distinction. Blocking succinate dehydrogenase specifically in cardiomyocytes produced a transient increase in their proliferation, but this alone was not sufficient to improve heart function after a heart attack. In contrast, blocking the enzyme in cardiac fibroblasts suppressed their activation and reduced scar formation, resulting in improved cardiac function.
