Protective effect of taurine on the detachment of cultured cardiac fibroblasts from the substratum induced by calcium depletion

Removal of Ca2+ from the incubation medium of cultured rat cardiac fibroblasts causes cellular morphological changes, such as the formation of blebs, the ballooning of the cell membrane and the detachment from the culture dish. A 24 hr preincubation with 20 mM taurine blocked the Ca2+ depletion-indu...
