Heart Cell Muscle Dividing Captured on Image from Live Microscopy.

Caption

From left to right - the cell in the initial frame is from a 55-year-old donor heart. The next image shows the cell rounding up after receiving Cyclin A2 and the cell division takes place shortly after. The third image represents the same heart muscle about to split apart into two daughter cells. The last image is the end result of that division where the cell in image one has now fully divided into two cells.
