As an excitatory transmitter system,the glutamatergic transmitter system controls excitability and conductivity of neurons.Since both cardiomyocytes and neurons are excitable cells,we hypothesized that cardiomyocytes ...
Cells of in vitro cultured epidermis explants of ectoderm isolated at early gastrula stage,showed only weak excitability or even non-excitable at 6V when examined electrophysiologically.If non-excitable explants were ...
