Description:
Article Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSP) in the myocardial scar inhibit the tissue’s reinnervation, rendering it prone to arrhythmia. Here the authors show that blocking the activity of the CSP receptor, protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor σ, promotes scar reinnervation and prevents arrhythmia in mice.
