Sustained pacemaker function is a challenge in biological pacemaker engineering.Human cardiomyocyte progenitor cells (CMPCs) have exhibited extended survival in the heart after transplantation.We studied whether lentivirally transduced CMPCs Swim Trunks that express the pacemaker current If (encoded by HCN4) can be used as functional gene delivery

Performance Studies and Social Imaginaries: a Possible Path.Starting from the original intuition of their founder, director and Sconce theater theorist Richard Schechner, Performance Studies stand out for their interdisciplinary (or post-disciplinary) character.As repositories of personal memory and the social imaginary, the performances mark ident
Phosphate deposits in south-western Iran are part of the South Tethyan Phosphogenic Province, a huge carbonate-dominated strata that extends to the Middle East.The Tethyan ONION CUBES phosphorites of Iran are dated Eocene-Oligocene (Pabdeh Formation) and categorized as low-grade ore deposits on a global scale.Depositional conditions of the facies i
