No one can live without a heart pumping blood to the rest of the body. New research from the University of Missouri School of ...

New research from the University of Missouri School of Medicine found that a specific protein found in heart muscles regulates muscle contraction and may be related to certain heart diseases and ...

In other words, drugs that can selectively promote the protective functions of Mst1 would help protect cardiac myocytes in the case of life-threatening conditions such as heart failure.

Cardiac myocytes were widely spaced with central nuclei separated by thin bands of fibrosis. Necrosis of the myocytes was scattered and was associated with a loss of myocyte integrity.

Notably, myocyte nuclei replicated at least 15-fold in 24 hours following heart injections that delivered those transcription factors.

"Heart rate conduction above 300 beats per minute would thus involve the presence of at least a bypass tract [an accessory pathway that bypasses the AV], shorter cardiac myocyte AP duration and ...

"Together, we hope to investigate and challenge tenets of cardiac physiology that may be based more on lore than experimental verification." MEI Lab has developed bioelectrodes as the interfaces with ...
