Rat Cardiac Fibroblasts: RCF
Description
Rat Cardiac Fibroblasts (RCF) are the most prevalent cell type in the rodent’s heart, making up 60-70 % of all cells. They are known to play key roles in the development of cardiac disease and hypertrophy. Rat Cardiac Fibroblasts from Cell Applications, Inc. provide an excellent model system to study many aspects of heart function and pathophysiology, including the regulation of cell growth, survival, inflammation, hormone secretion and metabolism.
