This work presents the synthesis and characterization of a dicyanamide-bridged coordination polymer [Co(L)2(dca)]n (1) by using the bidentate NO donor Schiff base ligand (2-methoxy-6-((methylimino)methyl)phenol. Furthermore, the nanoparticles of complex 1 …

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is a lethal cancer resistant to immunotherapy. We create a PDAmouse model and show that neoantigen expres- sion is required for intratumoral T cell accumulation and response to immune checkpoint blockade. By …

The intermediate filament (IF) cytoskeleton has been proposed to regulate morphogenic processes by integrating the cell fate signaling machinery with mechanical cues. Signaling between endothelial cells (ECs) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) …

In vivo long-term evaluation of degradable implants offers valuable information for the further design and optimization of biomaterials. In this study, we prepared one type of bilayer graft, which had an internal layer of oriented elastic degradable …

Pathological cardiac overload induces myocardial protein synthesis and hypertrophy, which predisposes to heart failure. To inhibit hypertrophy therapeutically, the identification of negative regulators of cardiomyocyte protein synthesis is needed. Here, …

Background . Danhong injection (DHI) has been mainly used for the treatment of myocardial infarction, atherosclerosis, and coronary heart disease in clinical practice. Our previous studies have shown that DHI improves ventricular remodeling and preserves …

Three photodynamic therapy (PDT) protocols with 15 min, 3 h and 72 h drug-to-light time intervals (DLIs) were performed using a bacteriochlorin named redaporfin, as a photosensitizer. Blood flow and pO2 changes after applying these protocols were …

Tumor-microenvironment-responsive theranostics have great potential for precision diagnosis and effective treatment of cancer. Polyaniline (PANI) is the first reported pH-responsive organic photothermal agent and is widely used as a theranostic agent. …

Cardiosphere-derived cells are therapeutic candidates with disease-modifying bioactivity, but their variable potency has complicated their clinical translation. Transcriptomic analyses of cardiosphere-derived cells from human donors have revealed that …

Preterm birth is associated with proinflammatory conditions and alterations in adult cardiac shape and function. Neonatal exposure to high oxygen, a rat model of prematurity-related conditions, leads to cardiac remodeling, fibrosis, and dysfunction. TLR …
