How to repair a damaged heart: key mechanism behind heart regeneration in zebrafish revealed

Cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attacks, are a leading cause of death worldwide resulting from a limited self-healing power of the heart. Unlike humans, zebrafish have the remarkable capacity to recover from cardiac damage.

Art in LUMC

Art has been everywhere at LUMC for more than 30 years. It breaks the clinical atmosphere of a hospital and creates a welcoming and pleasant environment. The works of art can be admired in various departments and in the corridors, waiting rooms, LUMC Art Hall and Gallery. There is also a sculpture trail outside.
