Mix and (mis-)match – The mechanosensing machinery in the changing environment of the developing, healthy adult and diseased heart
9 Feb 2019
Abstract excerpt
The composition and the stiffness of cardiac microenvironment change during development and/or in heart disease. Cardiomyocytes (CMs) and their progenitors sense these changes, which decides over the cell fate and can trigger CM (progenitor) proliferation, differentiation, de-differentiation or death. The field of mechanobiology has seen a constant increase in output that also includes a wealth of new studies...
