What Are the Key Indicators of Cardiomyocyte Apoptosis?
The detection of cardiomyocyte apoptosis can be achieved through several biomarkers and techniques. Common indicators include the presence of caspases, which are enzymes that play a critical role in the execution of apoptosis. Other methods include TUNEL assay for DNA fragmentation, and the detection of Annexin V binding, which marks the early stages of apoptosis.
