Mechanisms of physiological and pathological cardiac hypertrophy
M Nakamura, J Sadoshima - Nature Reviews Cardiology, 2018 - nature.com
Cardiomyocytes exit the cell cycle and become terminally differentiated soon after birth.
Therefore, in the adult heart, instead of an increase in cardiomyocyte number, individual …
