Complement Dysregulation Is Associated with Severe COVID-19 Illness

Researchers demonstrated that serum from 58 COVID-19 patients could induce complement-mediated cell death in a functional assay and increase membrane attack complex deposition on the cell surface.

The Human Amniotic Fluid Stem Cell Secretome Triggers Intracellular Ca2+ Oscillations, NF-κB Nuclear Translocation and Tube Formation in Human Endothelial Colony-Forming Cells

The authors found that the secretome obtained by human amniotic fluid-derived stem cells undergoing hypoxic preconditioning induced intracellular Ca2+ oscillations by promoting extracellular Ca2+ entry through Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 4.

Therapeutic Inhibition of Acid Sensing Ion Channel 1a Recovers Heart Function after Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury

Human induced pluripotent stem cell derived cardiomyocytes as well as ex vivo and in vivo models of ischemia-reperfusion injury were used to test the efficacy of ASIC1a inhibitors as pre- and post-conditioning therapeutic agents.

ADAR2 Increases in Exercised Heart and Protects against Myocardial Infarction and Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiotoxicity

AAV9-mediated cardiac specific ADAR2 overexpression attenuated acute myocardial infarction (MI), MI remodeling and doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. In vitro, overexpression of ADAR2 inhibited doxorubicin-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis but also induced neonatal rat cardiomyocyte proliferation.

Hematopoietic and Cardiac GPR55 Synchronize Post-Myocardial Infarction Remodeling

Scientists investigated the role of GPR55 in cardiac physiology and post-myocardial infarction (MI) inflammation and remodeling. Global GPR55 deficiency mitigated MI-induced fetal gene re-programming and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, culminating in aggravated LV dilatation and infarct expansion.
