Identification of Autologous Tissue Sources and Optimization of a Treatment Method for Intraoperative Manufacturing of Heart Valve Constructs

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
The use of autologous connective tissue, such as pericardium or peritoneum, combined with controlled tissue treatment, has the potential to result in a more durable heart valve prosthesis than current commercial prostheses. ABSTRACT Introduction Valvular heart disease remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Current biological and mechanical

A quad‐cistronic fluorescent biosensor system for real‐time detection of subcellular Ca2+ signals

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose The calcium ion (Ca2+) is a versatile cellular messenger regulating a variety of biological processes. Compounds modulating subcellular Ca2+ signals hold substantial pharmacological potential. Advances in fluorescent biosensors have revolutionised Ca2+ imaging.

Therapeutic potential of small molecules that block receptor‐induced Kv7/M‐current suppression in neuroprotection, seizures, and pain

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Receptor‐induced Kv7/M‐current suppression increases neuronal activity and contributes to pathology of several conditions. A new class of Kv7 modulators identified in this study attenuates M‐current suppression and shows therapeutic effects. Abstract Background and Purpose Neuronal Kv7 channels generate low voltage–gated potassium currents known as the

The metalloproteinase ADAM17 promotes acute lung inflammatory responses during pancreatitis

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a multifactorial upper gastrointestinal inflammatory disorder that in severe cases (~20% of all AP) is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, the latter coincident with multiorgan dysfunction, particularly acute lung injury (ALI).

A novel selective stabilizer of the ryanodine receptor 2 prevents stress‐induced ventricular arrhythmias without impairing cardiac function

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Aberrant activation of type 2 ryanodine receptors (RyR2) causes lethal arrhythmias, such as catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT). Developing drugs that suppress RyR2 hyperactivation may be key to novel arrhythmia treatments.

Preventing or attenuating amphotericin B nephrotoxicity with dopamine receptor agonists: a literature review

Trends in Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016
Nephrotoxicity is generally considered as the most clinically significant and dose-limiting adverse reaction of amphotericin B. Currently, only the clinical effectiveness of salt loading and administering lipid formulations of amphotericin B have been ...

Cellular Morphometric Analysis (CellMorph)—a comprehensive imaging‐based tool for quantifying cellular phenotype heterogeneity and dynamics across biological processes

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
CellMorph is a groundbreaking tool that allows researchers to analyze multiple features from single cells, including cell size and shape, cytosolic staining and subcellular texture, nuclear staining, and morphometry. By evaluating images from both bright‐field and fluorescence microscopy, it also tracks changes in living cells during key processes such
