Réseau de fibres électriques fluorescentes d’un cœur de souris adulte

Fluorescent electrical fibres in a mouse heart, observed using a fluorescence microscope. The Connexin 40 protein expressed by the conducting cells is coupled to green fluorescent protein (GFP). This allows research scientists to observe the electrical system in control adult mice or mice affected by cardiac diseases.
