Abstract
Cells of primary and secondary cultures of rat heart ventricle were grown in a medium supplemented with homologous plasma to avoid the non-specific proliferogenic effects of foreign sera. Specific chelation of calcium from the medium arrested the cells' progression through their cycle at the G1 phase. A permanent or brief restoration of the extracellular calcium level (48 hr later) was followed, after a 5 to 6 hr delay, by a burst of DNA synthesis, and the resumption of mitotic activity.Entities:
