The isolation and characterization of calcium-tolerant myocytes.
Isolated cells obtained from adult myocardium are proving invaluable for a wide range of studies concerned with the mechanisms underlying many important cardiological processes. Although care must always be taken to ensure that the single myocyte is an appropriate model for the particular question to be researched, it is to be anticipated that much additional important data on heart function will be obtained using this experimental approach.
