Fates of cycling cardiomyocytes. Cardiomyocytes that enter the cell cycle have different fates depending on developmental stages per se and environmental cues (e.g. aging, injury, experimental regeneration). This scheme summarizes the key points of our current knowledge and identifies open questions
