Imaging of mouse hearts reveals widespread tissue damage (light-colored areas) after heart attack. At far right, however, mice that were treated with an engineered, optimized ApoM protein containing S1P have better tissue recovery than untreated mice (left) and mice that were given an inactive "dud" ApoM treatment (center).
