Amelioration of myocarditis by HVEM-overexpressing dendritic cells through induction of IL-10-producing cells.

abstract：AIMS:The molecular mechanisms controlling heart function and rhythmicity are incompletely understood. While it is widely accepted that the type 2 ryanodine receptor (Ryr2) is the major Ca(2+) release channel in excitation-contraction coupling, the role of these channels in setting a consistent beating rate remains cont...
