Same with the heart too, I believe. It isn't able to create new muscle cells in adulthood.

I think we can simply demonstration that the heart does regenerate.

1) looking at people before and after 1 month of regular exercise.

2) healing of heart after large and invasive surgery.

That is a compelling argument. But, if you Google for "heart cells don't regenerate", you find that it does appear to be a thing experts believe. And you find article like this that attempts to explain why heart cells can't regenerate: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/08/110809092102.h...
