Journal ArticleDOI
Structural and functional characterisation of cardiac fibroblasts
TL;DR: This review summarizes the understanding of fibroblast origin and identity, their structural organization and role in myocardial architecture, as well as functional aspects related to cell signalling and electro-mechanical function in the heart.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of cell types and numbers during cardiac development in the neonatal and adult rat and mouse.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors observed alterations in myocardial cells, including myocytes, myocyte, endothelial cells, and vascular smooth muscle cells, in the absence of a blood clot.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integration from proteins to organs: the Physiome Project.
Peter Hunter,Thomas K. Borg +1 more
TL;DR: The Physiome Project will provide a framework for modelling the human body, using computational methods that incorporate biochemical, biophysical and anatomical information on cells, tissues and organs.
Journal Article
The collagen network of the heart
TL;DR: An extensive collagen skeleton in the myocardium is clearly demonstrable by scanning electron microscopy and could be the site of some of the viscoelastic properties of the heart.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrins and the Myocardium
Robert S. Ross,Thomas K. Borg +1 more
TL;DR: This review will provide background on integrin structure and function, discuss how the expression of integrins is critical to the form and function of the developing and postnatal myocardium, and review the known data onIntegrins as signaling molecules in the heart.
