Effects of damaging the endocardial surface on the mechanical performance of isolated cardiac muscle.

abstract：:RNA splicing represents a post-transcriptional mechanism to generate multiple functional RNAs or proteins from a single transcript. The evolution of RNA splicing is a prime example of the Darwinian function follows form concept. A mutation that leads to a new mRNA (form) that encodes for a new functional protein (func...
