Abstract:
Fibroblasts have been shown to couple to neonatal cardiomyocytes in heterocellular cultures through functional gap junctions.Our objective was to provide evidence for an additional type of heterocellular communication between fibroblasts and adult cardi Keywords:

New Zealand white rabbits (ca. 2 kg) were used for this
study. Cardiomyocytes and cardiac fibroblasts were isolated from adult rabbits by a retrograde collagenase perfusion as
previously described [11]. In brief rabbits were anaesthetized
by intra-art Microscopic Technique
