Background: The NR4A3 orphan nuclear hormone receptor, NOR1, functions as a constitutively active transcription factor to regulate inflammation, proliferation, and cell survival during pathological vascular remodeling. Inflammatory processes represent key …

To date the molecular mechanism of cardiac hypertrophy has not been completely elucidated. Since oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) is considered a risk marker for early ventricular remodeling, we speculated that ox-LDL may be related to cardiac …

B-Mode image of the mouse thorax illustrating healthy lung tissue and infected lung tissue. … … Lung Infection …

Mechanical trauma (MT) causes myocardial injury and cardiac dysfunction. However, the underlying mechanism remains largely unclear. This study investigated the role of mitochondrial dynamics in post-traumatic cardiac dysfunction and the protective effects …

Pathological cardiac hypertrophy used to be elucidated by biomechanical, stretch-sensitive or neurohumoral mechanisms. However, a series of hints have indicated that hypertrophy process simulates senescence program. However, further evidence need to be …

Antiangiogenic therapy with antibodies against VEGF (bevacizumab) or VEGFR2 (ramucirumab) has been proven efficacious in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. However, the improvement in overall survival is modest and only in combination with chemotherapy. …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with mineral and bone disorder (MBD), which is the main cause of the extensively increased cardiovascular mortality in the CKD population. We now aimed to establish a new murine experimental CKD-MBD model. Dilute …

Purpose: Chronic leg ulcers can be a challenge to treat and long-term therapy a significant cost factor in western public health budgets. Objective wound assessment assays enabling selection of appropriate wound therapy regimes would be desirable. …

Nanoscale coordination polymers (NCPs) are promising nanomedicine platforms featured with biodegradability and versatile functionalities. However, multi-step post-synthesis surface modification is usually required to functionalize as-made NCPs before …
