Abstract excerpt
We examined changes in the structural and physiological characteristics of human atrial myocytes during primary culture in the presence of serum. Action potentials and ionic currents were recorded in freshly dissociated (FM) and cultured (CM) whole-cell patch-clamped myocytes, alpha-smooth muscle...
