Project description:Investigation of microvesicles exocytosed by cardiomyocytes. The aims of the study were to determine if microvesicles from cardiomyocytes are capable of affecting fibroblasts and causes changes in gene expression. The study showed that cardiomyocytes microvesicles are capable to cause change in gene expression in fibroblasts.
Project description:Investigation of content of microvesicles exocytosed by cardiomyocytes. The aims of the study were to identify DNA and RNA content in microvesicles from cardiomyocytes. DNA and RNA were purified from microveicles from cultured cardiomyocytes. Illumina microarrays were used to detect DNA and mRNA molecules and identify them.
