  2. Cardiac myxoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_myxoma

    A myxoma is a rare benign tumor of the heart. Myxomata are the most common primary cardiac tumor in adults, and are most commonly found within the left atrium near the valve of the fossa ovalis. Myxoma may also develop in the other heart chambers. [1] The tumor is derived from multipotent mesenchymal cells. [1]

  3. Cardiomyocyte proliferation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiomyocyte_proliferation

    Although other types of cells, such as gastrointestinal epithelial cells, can proliferate and differentiate throughout life, [2] cardiac tissue contains little intrinsic ability to proliferate, as adult human cells arrest in the cell cycle. [3] However, a recent paradigm shift has occurred.

  4. Myxoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myxoma

    Myxoma is a rare, benign stromal tumor of mesenchymal origin often confused with other conjunctival stromal tumors. Conjunctival myxomas are thought to originate in Tenon's capsule and can masquerade as conjunctival lymphoma, lymphangioma, ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN), or amelanotic melanoma.

  5. Primary tumors of the heart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_tumors_of_the_heart

    Malignant tumors of the heart include rhabdomyosarcomas, angiosarcomas, myxosarcomas, fibrosarcomas, leiomyosarcomas, reticulum cell sarcomas, desmoplastic small round cell tumor, and liposarcomas. Angiosarcoma is the most common primary cardiac malignancy. [4] It tends to occur in the right atrium and involve the pericardium.

  6. Carney complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carney_complex

    NAME refers to nevi, atrial myxoma, myxoid neurofibromas, and ephelides. [1] Testicular cancer, particularly Sertoli cell type, is associated with Carney syndrome. [7] Thyroid and pancreas cancer may also occur. [8] [9] Although J Aidan Carney also described Carney's triad it is entirely different. [10]

  7. Intercalated disc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercalated_disc

    Intercalated discs are complex structures that connect adjacent cardiac muscle cells. The three types of cell junction recognised as making up an intercalated disc are desmosomes, fascia adherens junctions, and gap junctions. [2] Fascia adherens are anchoring sites for actin, and connect to the closest sarcomere. [3]

  8. Mesenchymal stem cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesenchymal_stem_cell

    The cells, which are long and thin, are widely dispersed, and the adjacent extracellular matrix is populated by a few reticular fibrils, but is devoid of the other types of collagen fibrils. [13] [14] These distinctive morphological features of mesenchymal stem cells can be visualized label-free using live cell imaging.

  9. Cardiac physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_physiology

    Cardiac physiology or heart function is the study of healthy, unimpaired function of the heart: involving blood flow; myocardium structure; the electrical conduction system of the heart; the cardiac cycle and cardiac output and how these interact and depend on one another.
