1. Structural immaturity of the heart in congenital diaphragmatic hernia in rats

The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of important extracellular matrix components in rats heart with induced congenital diaphragm to test the hypothesis that an alteration of extracellular matrix may contribute to cardiac maldevelopment

Abstract:

PURPOSE: The form and function of the heart are the final result of an integration of cells, tissues, and extracellular material. The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex array of different molecular components, and it plays an important role for the transfer of mechanical force in both contraction and relaxation phases in the cardiac cycle. ECM plays also a significant role in the more...
