Oscillating Pressure Treatment Upregulates Connexin43 Expression in Skeletal Myoblasts and Enhances Therapeutic Efficacy for Myocardial Infarction
Transplantation of autologous skeletal myoblasts (SMBs) is a potential therapeutic approach for myocardial infarction. However, their clinical efficacy and safety is still controversial. Electrical coupling through gap junction between SMBs and host myocardium is essential for synchronized contracti...
