...good news: Harvard Medical School researchers have identified an enzyme inhibitor and growth factor that, in combination, appear able to erase some of the damage from heart attacks...

One of the drugs targets p38 MAP kinase, an enzyme that prevents heart muscle cells from undergoing cellular division. The other is FGF1, a growth factor that promotes the creation of new blood vessels...

Though the administration of only the inhibitor did result in the creation of new heart muscle cells, it did not improve cardiac function. The rats that only received the growth factor did not show as much cell proliferation as those receiving the inhibitor...
