Fibroblast Nox2 (NADPH Oxidase-2) Regulates ANG II (Angiotensin II)–Induced Vascular Remodeling and Hypertension via Paracrine Signaling to Vascular Smooth Muscle …

Rapid Custom Prototyping of Soft Poroelastic Biosensor for Simultaneous Epicardial Recording and Imaging …

Alternative splicing of exon 24 (E24) of the myosin phosphatase regulatory subunit (Mypt1) tunes smooth muscle sensitivity to NO/cGMP-mediated vasorelaxation and thereby controls blood pressure (BP) in otherwise normal mice. This occurs via the toggling …

The death of cardiomyocytes either through apoptosis or necroptosis is the pathological feature of cardiac ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Phosphoglycerate mutase 5 (PGAM5), a mitochondrially-localized serine/threonine-protein phosphatase, functions as …

Macrophages are fundamental components of inflammation in post-myocardial infarction (MI) and contribute to adverse cardiac remodelling and heart failure. However, the regulatory mechanisms in macrophage activation have not been fully elucidated. Previous …

Rationale: Aberrant androgen receptor (AR) signaling via full-length AR (AR-FL) and constitutively active AR variant 7 (AR-V7) plays a key role in the development of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and resistance to hormone therapies. …

Ultrasound and microbubble (USMB)-mediated drug delivery is a valuable tool for increasing the efficiency of the delivery of therapeutic agents to cancer while maintaining low systemic toxicity. Typically, selection of USMB drug delivery parameters used …

Currently, there remains a great need to elucidate the molecular mechanism of acute myocardial infarction in order to facilitate the development of novel therapy. Inhibitor of apoptosis-stimulating protein of p53 (iASPP) is a member of the ASPP family …

Background/aims: The Nod-like receptor protein-3 (NLRP3) inflammasome signalling pathway is involved in the inflammatory reaction of myocardial ischaemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury. Our previous study showed that miR-330-5p was differentially expressed in …

Background: Pathological cardiac hypertrophy is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, including heart failure. However, limited pharmacological therapies are available for reversing the maladaptive process and restoring cardiac function. Citri …
