Abstract: Cardiac dyads are the site of communication between the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and infoldings of the sarcolemma called transverse-tubules (TT). During heart excitation–contraction coupling, Ca2+-influx through L-type Ca2+ channels in the TT is amplified by… read more here.

Abstract: Zebrafish hearts can regenerate by replacing damaged tissue with new cardiomyocytes. Although the steps leading up to the proliferation of surviving cardiomyocytes have been extensively studied, little is known about the mechanisms that control proliferation… read more here.
