The heart, a secondary organ in the control of blood circulation

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Circulation of the blood is a fundamental physiological function traditionally ascribed to the pressure‐generating function of the heart. However, over the past century the ‘cardiocentric’ view has been challenged by August Krogh, Ernst Starling, Arthur Guyton and others, based on haemodynamic data obtained from isolated heart preparations and

Modeling fire‐related smoke inhalation injury using the human lung‐on‐a‐chip and organoid platform: Pathogenesis insights and therapeutic evaluation

VIEW, EarlyView.
Fire‐related smoke inhalation‐induced acute lung injury (SI‐ALI) poses a significant public health risk, yet effective treatments are limited due to the lack of suitable models. This study developed a more realistic model of SI‐ALI using organ‐on‐a‐chip and organoid technologies, identified key molecules such as catechol‐O‐methyltransferase and ...

A reliable assay for beta-adrenoceptors in intact isolated human fat cells with a hydrophilic radioligand, [3H]CGP-12177.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1988
The beta-adrenergic receptors of isolated human fat cells were identified using a new hydrophilic beta-adrenergic radioligand (+/-)[3H]CGP-12177. The results were compared with those from [3H]dihydroalprenolol binding to fat cells and membranes.
