Aix et al. find that telomere dysfunction is a crucial signal for cardiomyocyte cell-cycle arrest during the postnatal period. After birth, mouse cardiomyocytes undergo telomere shortening. This leads to the appearance of dysfunctional telomeres that activate p21, causing cardiomyocyte cell-cycle withdrawal.
