a Heatmap shows the log₁₀ (normalised counts +0.01) of selected differentially expressed transcripts (adjusted p-value < 0.05). Red—high expression. Yellow—medium expression. Blue—low expression. Selected differentially expressed transcripts are further classified into subcategories of re-innervation (plum), extracellular matrix (ECM) components (yellow), ECM enzymes (turquoise), resolution of inflammation and regeneration (purple), pro-inflammatory mediators (pink), macrophage function (red) and monocyte to macrophage differentiation (green). b–g Hierarchical clustering reveals dynamic gene signatures. Selected genes from individual clusters are highlighted on the heatmap. h Heatmap showing semi-hierarchical clustering of differentially expressed transcripts between regenerative (P1) and scar-forming (P7 and adult, Ad) mouse models at day 7 post-MI. Red—high expression. Yellow—medium expression. Blue—low expression. Selected genes are highlighted. i–k Unbiased temporal clustering demonstrating dynamically regulated gene sets in macrophages across the phases of scar-based wound healing in the adult mouse heart post-MI. Significant profiles from the inflammatory (i), transition (j) and reparative (k) phases of wound repair are shown (n = number of genes within set), with selected genes highlighted. l–n Unbiased temporal clustering demonstrating dynamically regulated gene sets in macrophages across the time period of regenerative healing in the P1 neonatal mouse heart post-MI. Significant profiles of gene sets upregulated (l, m) or transiently upregulated (n) in regeneration are shown (n = number of genes within set). Selected genes are highlighted.
