|
| The structure and function of mitochondria was disrupted in Mrps5 mutant cardiomyocytes, impairing mitochondrial protein translation, and OXPHOS. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Researchers demonstrated that doxorubicin challenge exhibited reduced contractile function and induction of ferroptosis-related phenotype in cardiomyocytes, evidenced by iron overload, lipid peroxide accumulation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. [Advanced Science] |
|
|
|
| Scientists determined whether patient plasma confered indirect phenotypic, transcriptional, and/or epigenetic alterations to ex vivo cardiomyocytes to mirror the failing human myocardium. [Basic Research in Cardiology] |
| |
|
|
| Investigators demonstrated that the large Maf transcription factor family dictates fast type IIb myofiber specification in mice. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Researchers established a workflow using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC)-derived fibroblasts and skeletal myocytes for urethral tissue regeneration. Cells from voided urine of women were reprogrammed into iPSC. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Scientists uncovered a new mechanism of immune modulation operating during skeletal muscle regeneration that was disrupted in aged animals and relied on the regulation of macrophage function. [Nature Aging] |
| |
|
|
| To probe the role of smooth muscle cell (SMC)-derived hepcidin in the setting of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), the authors applied Angiotensin-II-induced AAA model to mice harboring an inducible, SMC-specific deletion of hepcidin. [Arteriosclerosis Thrombosis And Vascular Biology] |
|
|
|
| The expression of Brahma related gene 1 (BRG1) was examined in high phosphorus stimulated rat aortic smooth muscle cells and calcified artery tissues from rat models and hemodialysis patients. [iScience] |
|
|
|
| Investigators identified whether the N6 methyladenosine writer METTL3/METTL4 regulated rip3 mRNA expression in abdominal aortic aneurysms. [Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling] |
|
|

|
Scientists summarize the reprogramming of fibroblasts into induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes, induced cardiac progenitor cells, and induced cardiomyocytes to repair a damaged heart, and outline recent findings in utilizing fibroblast-derived cells for heart regeneration.
