Dissociated Spatial Patterning of Gap Junctions and Cell Adhesion Junctions During Postnatal Differentiation of Ventricular Myocardium
1 Jan 1997
Abstract excerpt
Nonuniformity in the spatial patterning of gap junctions between heart muscle cells is now recognized as an important determinant of electromechanical function in working myocardium. Breakdown of the normal geometry of electrical intercellular connectivity in diseased myocardium correlates with reentry, arrhythmia, and conduction disturbance. The developmental mechanism(s) that determines this precise spatial...
