Abstract excerpt
Contractile dysfunction in pressure overload-hypertrophied myocardium has been attributed in part to the increased density of a stabilized cardiocyte microtubule network. The present study, the first to employ wild-type and mutant tubulin transgenes in a living animal, directly addresses this mic...
