General description

Lot specific orders are not able to be placed through the web. Contact your local sales rep for more details.


Cardiac fibroblasts are the most prevalent cell type in the 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 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.
