Cardiomyocytes

Cardiomyocytes

Cardiomyocytes are the muscle cells responsible for the contractile function of the heart. They are derived from human umbilical-cord mesenchymal stromal cells (hUC-MSCs). They comprise the primary cellular component of the myocardium. These cells include cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and α-actinin, indicative of organized sarcomeric structure. They also demonstrate the presence of gap junction proteins such as connexin 43 (Cx43), which are critical for intercellular electrical coupling. Functionally, cardiomyocytes exhibit automaticity and excitability, properties that allow them to initiate and propagate action potentials without external neural input. They are critical tools for cardiac physiology, disease modeling, and electrophysiological studies.
