In cultured adult rat atrial cardiocytes, DNA synthesis and mitosis occur only in immature cells, with high rates of DNA synthesis but minimal mitotic activity.

Limited mitotic activity despite DNA synthesis in cultured cardiocytes cautions against assuming adult regeneration; leaves open in vivo mechanisms.
Cantin et al. (1981) studied this question.
