Localized HB-EGF signaling and Connexin43 decrease in the myocardium
Growth factor signaling can affect tissue remodeling through autocrine and paracrine mechanisms. Recent evidence indicates that hypertrophic signaling in cardiomyocytes is induced through transactivation of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor by heparin-binding EGF (HB-EGF). Here it is shown …

Cardiomyocyte Cell Cycle, Renewal and Isolation
Heart disease results from the loss of cardiomyocytes following myocardial damage and is a leading cause of death worldwide. Stimulating the endogenous regeneration of cardiomyocytes or isolating them from in vitro culture is an attractive therapeutic strategy. In paper I, the focus is on the …

Growth, modelling and remodelling of cardiac tissue: a multiphase approach
… of the mechanisms of the disease as linked to cardiomyocyte growth and remodelling of the microstructure, a continuum bi-phasic model applicable to cardiac tissue is formulated based on the theory of porous media (TPM). This makes it possible to account for interactions and contributions of …

Beteiligung der Plasmamembran Ca2+-ATPase an Wachstumsregulation und Signaltransduktion im Überexpressionsmodell und im Myokard transgener Ratten
Einleitung: Die Plasmamembran Ca2+-ATPase (PMCA) ist ein ubiquitär in eukaryonten Zellen vorkommendes Enzym, das Kalziumionen aus der Zelle transportiert. In Myokardzellen ist ihre Funktion trotz eingehender biochemischer Charakterisierung unklar. Die frühere Hypothese einer Zuständigkeit für die …
