The dysregulation of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) participates in the remodeling of electrophysiological/ion channel in cardiomyocytes during arrhythmia. The lncRNA metastasis‐associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) is …

Background: Diabetes is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity across the world. Over 50% of deaths among diabetic patients are caused by cardiovascular diseases. Cardiac diastolic dysfunction is one of the key early signs of diabetic cardiomyopathy, …

Aims: Monocyte-mediated inflammation is a major mechanism underlying myocardial ischaemia–reperfusion (IR) injury and the healing process after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, no definitive anti-inflammatory therapies have been developed for …

Implanted grafts, including vascular substitutes, inevitably experience remodeling by host cells. The design of grafts capable of promoting constructive remodeling remains a challenge within regenerative medicine. Here, we used a biodegradable elastic …

Cardiac hypertrophy is a pathophysiological response to various pathological stresses and ultimately leads to heart failure. Oxidative stress is one of the critical processes involved in hypertrophy development. Fisetin, a small molecular flavonoid, has …

The treatment of complicated long segment strictures remains to a challenge, and the substitution urethroplasty treatment is often accompanied by subsequent tissue fibrosis and secondary stricture formation. In situ injection of human adipose tissue‐ …

Aims Angiotension II (Ang II) plays a central role in the pathogenesis of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS)-induced heart failure. Mst1 exerts its function in cardiomyocytes subjected to pathological stimuli via inhibiting autophagy and …

Aconite Lateralis Radix Praeparata (Fuzi) and Pinelliae Rhizoma (Banxia) are a combination often used to treat cardiovascular diseases in ancient and modern clinical practice. However, eighteen antagonisms based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) …

In gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy there are two potential immunological obstacles. An individual with Duchenne muscular dystrophy has a genetic mutation in dystrophin, and therefore the wild-type protein is “foreign,” and thus potentially …

Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the effects of superfine Qiliqiangxin powder (QL) on cardiac function and microan- giogenesis in heart failure (HF) rats post myocardial infarction, and to explore the related mechanisms. Methods: Myocardial infarction was …
