## TL;DR

This cover image represents a study on genetically modifying heart cells in adult rats using a virus-based method.

## Contribution

The study introduces a novel adeno-associated virus-based approach for genetic modification of cardiac fibroblasts in adult rat hearts.

## Key findings

- A virus-based method was developed to modify cardiac fibroblasts in adult rat hearts.
- The approach allows for targeted genetic modification in a specific cell type within the heart.
