Reports on Cardiovascular Research from Foshan University Provide New Insights [Ultrastructural Characteristics and Morphological Relationships of Cardiomyocytes and Telocytes In the Myocardium of the Bullfrog (rana Catesbeiana)].

A report from Foshan University in the People's Republic of China discusses new research on telocytes (TCs) in the myocardium of bullfrogs. TCs are interstitial cells that are believed to play a role in tissue repair and regeneration. The study used light and transmission electron microscopy to identify TCs in the bullfrog myocardium and examine their structural relationships with neighboring cell types. The findings provide anatomical evidence supporting the involvement of TCs in tissue regeneration. This research has been peer-reviewed and published in the journal Anatomia Histologia Embryologia.
