An update on the landscape of collagen bioactive fragments

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The remodeling of the extracellular matrix releases collagen bioactive fragments, which exert molecular functions and regulate numerous biological processes via several signaling pathways. Here, we summarize the latest findings describing the roles of major bioactive fragments from collagens I, IV, VI, and XVIII in various physiological and ...

Isotonic exercise reduces aortic stiffness

, 2005
Objective: The structural characteristics of a healthy athlete's heart are quite different from those of normal individuals. Exercise induces hypertrophy in heart muscle as a normal biologic response to increased workload. The elastic properties of the aorta are important predictors of left ventricular structure and function.

Intravascular Lithotripsy to Facilitate Extraction of Very Old Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices Leads

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background One of the challenges encountered when extracting transvenous leads with long dwell times is the presence of dense calcifications encasing the leads. This is the most likely reason for failure to advance a laser extraction sheath.

Initial Pre‐Clinical Evaluation of the Augmented Ultra‐Low Temperature Cryoablation Catheter for Ventricular Ablations

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Ultra‐low Temperature Cryoablation (ULTC) using nitrogen cryogen near its boiling temperature of −196°C is a novel cardiac ablation modality capable of producing titratable lesions with depth exceeding 10 mm and has been recently introduced for catheter treatment of drug‐refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT). The ablative action

Soft tissue abnormalities in the congenital limb malformation radial dysplasia (RD): Their clinical impact and treatment significance

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We review the characteristic changes to the limb soft tissue and neurovascular abnormalities that have been described in the congenital limb birth defect, Radial Dysplasia. These include consistent changes in muscle anatomy or absence of specific muscles, persistent median arteries and absent radial arteries and consistent alterations in neural ...

Far‐infrared irradiation attenuates platelet‐derived growth factor‐stimulated vascular smooth muscle cell migration through protein phosphatase 2A‐mediated Akt inhibition

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
FIR irradiation enhances the physical association between Akt and PP2Ac in VSMCs, independent of the hyperthermal effect of FIR rays. The increased binding between Akt and PP2Ac induced by FIR irradiation facilitates the dephosphorylation of Akt at Ser473.

Histiocytes: Multifaceted Regulators of Health and Disease

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The mononuclear phagocyte system encompasses macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), and monocytes. Tissue‐resident macrophages and dendritic cells arise during embryogenesis and are replenished either through self‐renewal or by monocytes during inflammation.
