Mechanisms of Remodelling A Question of Life (Stem Cell Production) and Death (Myocyte Apoptosis)
1 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
Remodeling myocytes show a typical switch between the embryonic and classical features of apoptosis and/or hypertrophy representing a signal of death (ie, apoptosis) and a signal of life (ie, hypertrophy). The adult myocyte, however, is a terminal cell; usually it is unable to reproduce and death is not genetically programmed (apoptosis), but occurs by necrosis. The reinstatement of apoptosis and development of...
