Complex Relationship Between Cardiac Fibroblasts and Cardiomyocytes in Health and Disease
Journal of the American Heart Association : Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021 Cardiac fibroblasts are the primary cell type responsible for deposition of extracellular matrix in the heart, providing support to the contracting myocardium and contributing to a myriad of physiological signaling processes.

Polyploidization of transplanted cardiac myocytes [PDF]
Cell Differentiation and Development, 1988 Pieces of cardiac ventricular tissue of late embryonic or 1-day postnatal rats, implanted beneath the kidney capsule of adult syngeneic hosts, formed viable, beating transplants. These transplants were investigated over a 40-day postoperative course. In the transplants, cellular binucleation and nuclear polyploidization occurred according to the same ...

Cellular Physiology of Rat Cardiac Myocytes in Cardiac Fibrosis: In Vitro Simulation Using the Cardiac Myocyte/Cardiac Non-Myocyte Co-Culture System [PDF]
Hypertension Research, 2008 An understanding of the cellular physiology of cardiac myocytes (MCs) and non-myocytes (NMCs) may help to explain the mechanisms underlying cardiac hypertrophy. Despite numerous studies using MC/NMC co-culture systems, it is difficult to precisely evaluate the influence of each cell type because of the inherent cellular heterogeneity of such a system ...

The Unmasking Effect: Propofol-Induced Brugada Pattern in a Critically Ill Patient
Case Reports in Cardiology, 2022 Brugada syndrome is a known cause of dysrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. It is linked to mutations in myocardial sodium channel leading to hyperexcitable cardiac myocytes.

Regulation of PTEN/Akt pathway enhances cardiomyogenesis and attenuates adverse left ventricular remodeling following thymosin β4 Overexpressing embryonic stem cell transplantation in the infarcted heart. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Thymosin β4 (Tβ4), a small G-actin sequestering peptide, mediates cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis. Whether embryonic stem (ES) cells, overexpressing Tβ4, readily differentiate into cardiac myocytes in vitro and in vivo and enhance ...
