Dynamic Cellular Integration Drives Functional Assembly of the Heart’s Pacemaker Complex
Summary: Impulses generated by a multicellular, bioelectric signaling center termed the sinoatrial node (SAN) stimulate the rhythmic contraction of the heart. The SAN consists of a network of electrochemically oscillating pacemaker cells encased in a heterogeneous connective tissue microenvironment....
