Comparative morphological analysis of HFrEF and control myoblasts. Phase contrast (4X) and immunohistochemical (10X) images of a representative control (a, c) and HFrEF (b, d) culture. Desmin-positive myoblasts (red) are surrounded by few fibroblasts (blue, arrows (⬆)). Actin microfilament organization using phalloïdin (green) and DAPI (blue) immunostaining of a representative control (e) and HFrEF (f) culture, 20X magnification. Scale bar = 200 μm. N = 6 HF and 6 control cultures
