Archived Event: Cell-Cell and Cell-Matrix Proteins in the Cardiomyocyte: Focus on ZO Proteins
Date: Nov. 6, 2020
Time: 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
About This Lecture
Dr. Ross's lab has studied the role cell-cell and cell-matrix proteins in the myocardium for many years. For this the lab makes extensive use of mouse models, cells derived from them and as possible, even human genetics. In this seminar he will summarize data from some of his prior work and primarily focus on new data where he and his lab have identified unique roles of Zonula Occluden-1 in the myocardium.
