In order to count the cell number, cell counter plugin with ImageJ was employed. For myocardial cells counting, the hspGFF3A transgenic line, which expresses myocardium-specific GFP signal, was used. fli1:GFP transgenic line was used for counting the endocardial cells, as well as the PCNA...
which is the largest artery in your body. Your aorta runs from your heart to your pelvis, and you can get a blockage anywhere along this length. The most common place, though, is in the section that runs through your belly, or abdomen. When you have a blockage in your aorta, you may...
