## Abstract The process of cardiac hypertrophy is considered to involve two components: that of cardiac myocyte (CM) enlargement and cardiac fibroblast (CF) proliferation. The interleukinβ6 (ILβ6) family cytokines have been implicated in a variety of cellular and molecular interactions between myoc
Differentiation cultures of embryonic stem (ES) cells can be a useful in vitro system for understanding cardiac myocyte development. However, cell morphometry, sarcomere development, and functional cell-cell junction formation have not been examined in detail to determine whether ES cell-derived car
The purpose of this study was to examine collagen gene expression in various types of scar fibroblasts as well as normal fibroblasts in a novel three-dimensional culture system and to compare them with those in a monolayer culture system. Cells in three-dimensional culture formed multiple layers wit
