Distribution characteristics and morphological comparison of telocytes in the aortic bulb and myocardium of yak heart
This is the first study to report the presence of TCs in the aortic bulb and myocardium of yak hearts and that it may form TC networks that mainly participate in mechanical support and cell communication in the heart. The presence and distribution characteristics of TCs in the heart of yaks provide important clues for further research on the role of TC networks in the adaptability of plateau animals to the environment.
