DNA Synthesis and Mitosis in Well-Differentiated Mammalian Cardiocytes

Abstract
Incorporation of [(3)H]thymidine into nuclei of heart cells of 2-day-old rats indicates that neonatal cardiac cells containing well-aligned myofibrils synthesize DNA. In these highly differentiated cells, neither the presence of contractile proteins nor their organization into myofibrils inhibits either DNA synthesis or mitosis.
