Abstract excerpt
In an experimental rat model of myocardial infarction, surviving cardiac myocytes undergo hypertrophy in response to trophic effectors. This response involves gene reprogramming manifested by the re-expression of fetal genes, such as the previously reported isoform switch from adult alpha- to embryonic beta-myosin heavy chain. We now report the transient re-expression of a second fetal gene, skeletal alpha-actin...
