Recent research has revealed that cardiac telocytes (CTs) play an important role in cardiac physiopathology and the regeneration of injured myocardium. Recently, we reported that the adultXenopus tropicalisheart can regenerate perfectly in a nearly scar‐free manner after injury via apical resection. However, whether telocytes exist in theX tropicalisheart and are affected in the regeneration of injuredX tropicalismyocardium is still unknown. The present ultrastructural and immunofluorescent double staining results clearly showed that CTs exist in theX tropicalismyocardium. CTs in theX tropicalismyocardium were mainly twined around the surface of cardiomyocyte trabeculae and linked via nanocontacts between the ends of the telopodes, forming a three‐dimensional network. CTs might play a role in the regeneration of injured myocardium.
