Cardiomyocyte cell cycle control and growth estimation in vivo—an analysis based on cardiomyocyte nuclei
13 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Adult mammalian cardiomyocytes are traditionally viewed as being permanently withdrawn from the cell cycle. Whereas some groups have reported none, others have reported extensive mitosis in adult myocardium under steady-state conditions. Recently, a highly specific assay of 14C dating in humans has suggested a continuous generation of cardiomyocytes in the adult, albeit at a very low rate. Mice represent...
