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 ...

April 14, 2009 (New York, New York) — New cardiomyocytes are born in the heart throughout a person's life, a new study confirms [1], but at a rate that declines with age and is much slower than ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

The image analysis data is being used to investigate the effects that genetic modification have on how stem cells differentiate into cardiac myocytes and integrate into cardiac tissue. Scientists at ...

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