Obesity causes cardiovascular diseases, including cardiac hypertrophy and remodeling, via chronic tissue inflammation. Myeloid differentiation factor-2 (MD2), a binding protein of lipopolysaccharide, is functionally essential for the activation of …

Mouse bladder imaged in B-mode with thickened walls labelled. … … Mouse Bladder with Thickened Walls …

Widespread changes in cardiac gene expression occur during heart failure, yet the mechanisms responsible for coordinating these changes remain poorly understood. The Mediator complex represents a nodal point for modulating transcription by bridging …

Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERs) has been regarded as an important cause for the pathogenesis of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). β-elemene is an active component in the essential oil extracted from a medicinal herb, Curcuma wenyujin, and has been …

To optimize the lead urea scaffold 1 and 2 as selective cardiac myosin ATPase activator, a series of urea derivatives have been synthesized to explore its structure activity relationship. Among them …

Heart Failure (HF) is associated with increased circulating levels of aldos- terone and systemic inflammation. Mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antago- nists block aldosterone action and decrease mortality in patients with congestive HF. However, the …

This study investigated the effects of melatonin on diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) and determined the underlying mechanisms. Echocardiography indicated that melatonin notably mitigated the adverse left ventricle remodeling and alleviated cardiac …

The prostate and bladder of a male mouse imaged in B-mode and labelled. … … Prostate and Bladder in a Mouse …

Semiconductor nanoparticles with localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) have gained increasing interest due to their potential for use in nanomedicine, particularly in the area of cancer photothermal therapy. In this study, we have synthesized …

The abnormal tumor vasculature is one of key reasons that lead to the limited tumor perfusion as well as hypoxic and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, we uncover that by normalizing the tumor vasculature with erlotinib, a specific …
