TL;DR: Impaired myocardial angiogenesis and ischemic cardiomyopathy in mice lacking the vascular endothelial growth factor isoforms V EGF 164 and VEGF 188 is observed.

TL;DR: Measles virus proteins were efficiently expressed in COS and Vero cells from vectors based on the strong cytomegalovirus enhancer-promoter and the simian virus 40 origin of replication to analyze in vivo the interactions between the N and P proteins.

TL;DR: Using a new technique to isolate rod-shaped cardiomyocytes from small tissue pieces, the first detailed analysis of the phase of so-called developmental hypertrophy is presented, suggesting that the alterations in ventricular morphology in the MLP heart are not due to a general elongation of the cardiomeocytes but to myocyte disarray and ventricular wall thinning caused by the heterogeneous volume of theCardiomyocyte population.

TL;DR: A monolithic microsystem in complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology that provides bidirectional communication (stimulation and recording) between standard electronics technology and cultured electrogenic cells and can be used to study the development of neural networks, reveal the effects of neuronal plasticity and study cellular or network activity in response to pharmacological treatments.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the formation of the peripheral conduction system is time- and dose-dependent on the transcription factor Nkx2.5 that is cell-autonomously required for the postnatal differentiation of Purkinje fibers.
