The North Carolina A&T volleyball team is coached by Hal Clifton. Clifton is the ninth head coach in the program's history, and he replaced former coach Toni Conway, who took over the program in 2009.
Certificate of Analysis. Human Cardiac Fibroblasts (HCF) Primary Human Cardiac Fibroblasts (HCF) are isolated from the ventricles of an adult heart. They play a central role in the maintenance of the extracellular matrix in the normal heart and the synthesis of growth factors and cytokines.
Fibroblasts are by far the most common native cell type of connective tissue. The fibroblast synthesizes the collagen and ground substance of the extracellular matrix. These cells make a large amount of protein that they secrete to build the connective tissue layer. Some fibroblasts have a contractile function; these are called myofibroblasts. Chondrocytes and osteocytes form the extracellular matrix of cartilage and bone. More details and chondrocytes can be found later in this laboratory; osteocytes will be covered in the Laboratory on Bone. The macrophage is the connective tissue representative of the reticuloendothelial, or mononuclear phagocyte, system.
