|
|
| After myocardial ischemia reperfusion surgery, IL-1R2 expression was significantly increased in heart of wild-type mice. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Scientists showed that norepinephrine secretion from intrinsic cardiac adrenergic cells was increased through activation of Toll-like receptor 4 to aggravate myocardial TNF-α production and dysfunction by lipopolysaccharide. [Communications Biology] |
|
|
|
| Septic rats were modeled by cecal ligation puncture while in vitro septic cardiomyocyte H9C2 were induced by lipopolysaccharide. [Cell Death Discovery] |
|
|
|
| Gene expressions of XR_596701 and miR-344b-5p were detected by quantitative real-time PCR in intermittent hypoxia-induced H9c2 cells. [Cell Death Discovery] |
|
|
|
| Researchers explored the effects of interventions with the trypanosomicidal drug benznidazole alone or combined with pentoxifylline, a methylxanthine derivative shown to modulate immunological and cardiac abnormalities in a model of chronic chagasic cardiomyopathy, on parasite load and expression of miR-145-5p and miR-146b-5p. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| An in vitro cell model was established, followed by a comprehensive evaluation of cell viability and pyroptosis. The binding relationships of miR-378a-3p and ELAVL1, HuR, and NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 were analyzed. [Hypertension Research] |
| |
|
|
| In vitro and in vivo experiments showed that the expression of adiponectin was decreased and the expression of Il6 and Tnf was increased in the nerve-crushed group compared to that in the control group. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Scientists reported here that in response to mitochondrial reactive oxygen species, murine muscle stem cells (MuScs) directly fused with neighboring myofibers; this phenomenon removed electron transport chain-dysfunctional MuSCs from the stem cell compartment. [Nature Aging] |
| |
|
|
| The authors investigated the specific involvement of apoptosis-inducing factor, a mitochondrial oxidoreductase in regulating mitochondrial energy metabolism and mitophagy in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells. [Cell & Bioscience] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated the capacity for thrombin to trigger inflammation and induce cell proliferation in vascular smooth muscle cells. [Biomed Research International] |
| |
|
|
|
| Scientists discuss the advantages and limitations of 2D human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-cardiomyocyte system, and introduce the recent development of three-dimensional culture platforms derived from hPSCs. [Ebiomedicine] |

|
| Capricor Therapeutics announced that it has entered into a partnership with Nippon Shinyaku Co., Ltd. for the exclusive commercialization and distribution in the United States of Capricor’s lead asset, CAP-1002, for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a rare neuromuscular disease with limited treatment options.
