• In vivo: reprogramming of adult pancreatic exocrine cells to [bgr]-cells : Abstract : Nature: One goal of regenerative medicine is to instructively convert adult cells into other cell types for tissue repair and regeneration. This new approach offers new hope that it may be one day possible to change a pancreas cell into an insulin-produc ing cell in humans and the technique may have many applications in diabetes, Lou Gehrig's Disease, skin tranplantation etc.
• Connective Tissue Skeleton of the Human Heart : A Demonstration by Cell-Maceratio n Scanning Electron Microscope Method -- Rossi et al. 97 (9): 934 -- Circulation: The three-dimensio nal configuration of cardiac collagen has been determined by scanning electron microscopy.

• Cells change identity in promising breakthrough - Yahoo! News: NEW YORK - Talk about an extreme makeover: Scientists have transformed one type of cell into another in living mice, a big step toward the goal of growing replacement tissues to treat a variety of diseases.
• Leonardo da Vinci's flights of the mind must continue: cardiac architecture and the fundamental relation of form and function revisited -- Coghlan and Hoffman 29 (1): S4 -- European Journal of Cardio-Thoraci c Surgery: This overview addresses the remarkable efficiency of the mammalian heart as a pump of unique capacity to quickly vary output and ejection velocity and its relation to ventricular geometry, fiber architecture, integrity of collagen scaffold and microvasculatu re and appropriate electrical activation.
• Left Ventricular Structure and Function: Basic Science for Cardiac Imaging -- Sengupta et al. 48 (10): 1988 -- Journal of the American College of Cardiology: In this review, we associate the LV myofiber architecture with emerging concepts of the electromechani cal sequence in a beating heart. We discuss: 1) the morphogenesis and anatomical arrangement of muscle fibers in the adult LV; 2) the sequence of depolarization and repolarization ; 3) the physiological inhomogeneity of transmural myocardial mechanics and the apex-to-base sequence of longitudinal and circumferentia l deformation; 4) the sequence of LV rotation; and 5) the link between LV deformation and the intracavitary flow direction observed during each phase of the cardiac cycle.
