The scarring of the heart that results from myocardial infarction has been interpreted as evidence that the heart is composed of myocytes that are unable to divide. However, recent observations ...

The study, done in cell lines and mice, may lead to methods of reprogramming a patient's own cardiac myocytes within the heart itself to create new muscle to repair damage, said Dr. Robb MacLellan ...

An increasing number of enzymes, hormones, biologic substances, and other markers of cardiac stress and malfunction, as well as myocyte injury — collectively referred to as biomarkers — appear ...

Calcium-Induced Calcium Release (CICR) Within Cardiac Myocytes Excitation-contraction coupling occurs within cardiac muscle cells in response to calcium-induced calcium release, CICR. When L-type ...

The scarring of the heart tissue after a myocardial infarction suggests that the myocytes are unable to divide. In June 7 New England Journal of Medicine Antonio Beltrami and colleagues from the New ...

The enzymes troponin I and troponin T are normal proteins that are important in the contractile apparatus of the cardiac myocyte. The proteins are released into the circulation between 3 and 4 ...

Titled, "Hypoxia produces pro-arrhythmic late sodium current in cardiac myocytes by SUMOylation of NaV1.5 channels," the study was published today in Cell Reports. Lead author, Leigh D.

Efficient in vitro expression of the human reverse transcriptase (hTERT) but impaired maturation in dendritic cells of lung cancer patients ...
