    Spontaneous Orthogonal Alignment of Smooth Muscle Cells and Endothelial Cells Captures Native Blood Vessel Morphology in Tissue-Engineered Vascular Grafts

    Tissue-engineered vascular grafts were developed using a low-cost technique that aligne dendothelial cells axially and smooth muscle cells circumferentially within hours.

    MFN2 Deficiency Promotes Cardiac Response to Hypobaric Hypoxia by Reprogramming Cardiomyocyte Metabolism

    Loss- and gain-of-function approaches were used to investigate the role of mitofusin 2 (MFN2) in cardiac response to hypobaric hypoxia.

    MiR-494-3p Aggravates Pirarubicin-Induced Cardiomyocyte Injury by Regulating MDM4/p53 Signaling Pathway

    The effects of miR-494-3p on HL-1 contained in pirarubicin (THP) were investigated by CCK8, flow cytometry, ROS detection, JC-1 mitochondrial membrane potential detection, TUNEL cell apoptosis detection, RT-qPCR, and Western blot.

    Abstract

    Neferine Protected Cardiomyocytes against Hypoxia/Oxygenation Injury through SIRT1/Nrf2/HO-1 Signaling

    A hypoxia/reoxygenation model with H9c2 cells closely simulating myocardia ischemia/reperfusion injury was used as a cellular model. Scientists investigated the effects and mechanism underlying neferine on H9c2 cells in response to ischemia/reperfusion stimulation.

    Abstract

    Ferrostatin-1 Alleviates the Damage of C2C12 Myoblast and Mouse Pelvic Floor Muscle Induced by Mechanical Trauma

    Results showed, in vitro, that mechanical stretch could induce oxidative damage to myoblasts and trigger ferroptosis.

    Age-Related Gene Expression Signatures from Limb Skeletal Muscles and the Diaphragm in Mice and Rats Reveal Common and Species-Specific Changes

    To understand the changes in gene expression that occur as a result of aging in skeletal muscles, researchers generated a multi-time-point gene expression signature throughout the lifespan of mice and rats.

    Neuromuscular Compartmentation of the Subscapularis Muscle and Its Clinical Implication for Botulinum Neurotoxin Injection

    Scientists found that the compartments had different proportions of slow-fast muscle fibers, corresponding to the functional differences between the superior compartment as an early-onset internal rotator and the inferior compartment as a durable stabilizer of the glenohumeral joint.

    LncRNA RP4-639F20.1 Interacts with THRAP3 to Attenuate Atherosclerosis by Regulating C-FOS in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Proliferation and Migration

    The in vitro functions of lncRNA were analyzed by CCK-8 assays, EdU assays, scratch wound assays, Transwell assays, qRT-PCR analyses and Western blot analyses. RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization, immunoprecipitation, and mRNA microarrays were used to explore the underlying mechanism.

    Human Pulmonary Microvascular Endothelial Cell DDAH1-Mediated NO Production Promotes Pulmonary Smooth Muscle Cell Apoptosis in Co-Culture

    Researchers hypothesized that dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase-1 (DDAH1) knockdown in human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells would result in lower nitric oxide (NO) production, decreased apoptosis, and greater proliferation of human pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells.

    Vascular Nitric Oxide Resistance in Type 2 Diabetes

    Vascular nitric oxide (NO) resistance is a common state in type 2 diabetes (T2D) associated with developing cardiovascular events and death. The authors summarize experimental and human evidence of vascular NO resistance in T2D and discuss its underlying mechanisms.
