Sympathetic hyperinnervation is the leading cause of fatal ventricular arrhythmia (VA) following myocardial infarction (MI). Cardiac mast cells cause arrhythmias directly through degranulation. However, the role and mechanism of mast cell degranulation in sympathetic remodeling remain unknown. We investigated the role of oxytocin (OT) in stabilizing cardiac mast cells and improving sympathetic innervation in rats.

A single large population of healer cells, called regulatory T cells, is whizzing around our body -- not multiple specialist populations restricted to specific parts of the body as previously thought.
