title: Correlation between the structural and functional differentiation of chick embryo cardiomyocytes in cellular aggregates.
abstract: In order to establish the possible relation of the structural characteristics acquired by cardiomyocytes and their functional differentiation (spontaneous contractions), a study of the myofibrillogenesis on chick embryo at Hamburger-Hamilton stage 5 was carried out using techniques of dissociation and cellular reaggregation.
