Transplantation of MITO Cells, Mitochondria Activated Cardiac Progenitor Cells, to the Ischemic Myocardium of Mouse Enhances the Therapeutic Effect
[Scientific Reports] Investigators prepared mitochondria-activated stem cells (MITO cells) for use in transplantation. MITO cells, which were cardiac progenitor cells activated by the mitochondrial delivery of resveratrol with an anti-oxidant and mitochondrial activation effects, were successfully prepared using a mitochondrial targeting nanocarrier.

Whole Genome Sequencing Delineates Regulatory, Copy Number, and Cryptic Splice Variants in Early Onset Cardiomyopathy
[NPJ Genomic Medicine] Scientists analyzed whole-genome sequencing data in a discovery cohort of 209 pediatric cardiomyopathy patients and 1953 independent replication genomes and exomes and searched for protein-coding variants and non-coding variants predicted to affect the function or expression of genes.
