    Nuclear Translocation of Mitochondrial Dehydrogenases as an Adaptive Cardioprotective Mechanism

    Scientists observed the translocation of selected mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid cycle dehydrogenases to the nucleus as an adaptive stress response to anthracycline-cardiotoxicity in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes and in vivo.

    Activation of MG53 Enhances Cell Survival and Engraftment of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes in Injured Hearts

    Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes were transfected with adenoviral MG53, in which the expression of MG53 can be controlled by doxycycline, and the cells were then exposed to H2O2 to mimic ischemia/reperfusion injury.
