Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Regional alterations in ventricular mechanical functions are a primary determinant for the risk of myocardial injuries in various cardiomyopathies. The serum response factor (SRF) is a transcription factor regulating contractile and cytoskeletal genes and may play an important role in the remodelling of myocardium at the cellular level. METHODS: Using Desmin-Cre transgenic mice, we generated...
