[Aging Cell] Carnitine acetyltransferase knockdown caused mitochondrial dysfunction, as indicated by increased oxidative stress, disruption of mitochondrial morphology, and a metabolic shift from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis.

[Nature Communications] By studying pathogenic deletion mutations in the desmosomal protein plakophilin-2 (PKP2), investigators identified a general mechanism by which PKP2 delocalization restrictED actomyosin network organization and cardiac sarcomeric contraction in arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy.

[Arteriosclerosis Thrombosis And Vascular Biology] Single-molecule spatial distribution of transcripts from 140 genes was analyzed in fresh-frozen human thoracic aortic aneurysm samples with region and sex-matched controls.

[Journal of Cellular Physiology] Investigators demonstrated that cellular prion was expressed in the rat metrial gland, the entry point of spiral arteries with the highest expression on E16.5, the day at which trophoblast invasion peaked.

[Journal Of Applied Phycology] Researchers examined how inhibition of protein kinase C, rho-kinase, and integrin-link kinase affected force potentiation in sheep carotid artery.

[Cellular And Molecular Life Sciences] RNA sequencing analysis of differentially expressed circular RNAs in long-term-cultured MSCs revealed that circSERPINE2 expression was significantly increased in late passages.
