Earlier studies (Soonpaa et al., 1996) revealed a rapid drop-off of ventricular cardiomyocyte cell-cycle activity at birth in mice, followed by a burst of DNA synthesis during the first week of postnatal life which contributed to the formation of multi-nucleated cardiomyocytes by postnatal day 10 (PN10). It has recently been suggested that a second burst of cardiomyocyte cell-cycle activity occurs during preadolescence, between PN14 and PN18, resulting in a 40% increase in cardiomyocyte number (Naqvi et al., 2014).
