OPLA scaffold, collagen I, and horse serum induce an higher degree of myogenic differentiation of adult rat cardiac stem cells.

29 Nov 2009 In the last few years, a major goal of cardiac research has been to drive stem cell differentiation to replace damaged myocardium. Several research groups have attempted to differentiate potential cardiac stem cells (CSCs) using bi- or ... Read more...

Prospective, comprehensive assessment of cardiac troponin T testing after coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

22 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: The significance and clinical role of cardiac troponin testing after coronary artery bypass grafting remain unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS: Cardiac troponin T (cTnT) was measured during the first 24 hours after coronary artery bypass graft ... Read more...

Impact of cardiac troponin T N-terminal deletion and phosphorylation on myofilament function.

16 Aug 2009 Cardiac troponin T (cTnT) is a phosphoprotein that modulates cardiac muscle contraction through its extensive and diverse interactions with neighboring thin filament proteins. Its N-terminal half is the "glue" that anchors the troponin complex to ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Troponin T'

Definition: One of the three polypeptide chains that make up the TROPONIN complex. It is a cardiac-specific protein that binds to TROPOMYOSIN. It is released from damaged or injured heart muscle cells (MYOCYTES, CARDIAC). Defects in the gene encoding troponin T result in FAMILIAL HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY.
