Cardiomyocyte cell cycle control and growth estimation in vivo—an analysis based on cardiomyocyte nuclei

Abstract

Gene analyses identified 32 genes whose expression was predicted to be particular to day 3-4 neonatal myocytes, compared with embryonic or adult cells. These cell cycle-associated genes are crucial to the understanding of the mechanisms of bi-nucleation and physiological cellular growth in the neonatal period.
