MicroRNA-22 Regulates Cardiac Hypertrophy and Remodeling in Response to Stress
23 Mar 2013
Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: The adult heart is composed primarily of terminally differentiated, mature cardiomyocytes that express signature genes related to contraction. In response to mechanical or pathological stress, the heart undergoes hypertrophic growth, a process defined as an increase in cardiomyocyte cell size without an increase in cell number. However, the molecular mechanism of cardiac hypertrophy is not fully...
