Overview

Hypothesis-generating for Notch modulation post-MI; randomized trials needed before clinical consideration.

Structured PICO

Does targeting the Notch signaling pathway improve cardiac repair after myocardial infarction?

P
Population
Myocardial infarction (MI) models and patients
I
Intervention
Notch pathway modulation (gene therapy, small-molecule regulators, cell-based therapies, hydrogel-delivered Notch ligands)
O
Outcome
Cardiac repair (cardiomyocyte regeneration, fibrosis inhibition, angiogenesis enhancement)

Modulating the Notch signaling pathway offers a promising therapeutic avenue for cardiac repair post-MI by promoting angiogenesis and reducing fibrosis, though clinical translation remains challenging.

Limitations

  • Clinical translation challenges
  • Safety concerns

Cite This Study

Zhang et al. (2025) conducted a review in Myocardial infarction. Notch signaling pathway modulation was evaluated. Targeting the Notch signaling pathway offers a promising therapeutic strategy for cardiac repair post-myocardial infarction by promoting angiogenesis, reducing apoptosis, and inhibiting fibrosis.
