Isolated adult heart cells. The development of a new experimental model.
The isolation and characterization of calcium-tolerant cells from adult myocardial tissue has proved a major new field of heart research. The wide range of problems which can be examined using single cells in suspension offers the possibility of investigating many important mechanisms underlying diseased states in the myocardium.
