Human Genetics of Congenital Heart Defects
Congenital heart diseases (or congenital heart defects/disorders; CHDs) are structural abnormalities of the heart and/or great vessels that are...
-
Ex Vivo Working Porcine Heart Model
Ex vivo working porcine heart models allow for the study of a heart’s function and physiology outside the living organism. These models are...

The Contractile Machines of the Heart
This chapter will describe basic structural and functional features of the contractile apparatus of muscle cells of the heart, namely, cardiomyocytes...
-
Cardiac Progenitor Cells of the First and Second Heart Fields
The heart forms from the first and second heart fields, which contribute to distinct regions of the myocardium. This is supported by clonal analyses,...
