Hypoxia preconditioned mesenchymal stem cells prevent cardiac fibroblast activation and collagen production via leptin. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Activation of cardiac fibroblasts into myofibroblasts constitutes a key step in cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI), due to interstitial fibrosis.

Transcriptional control of cardiac fibroblast plasticity [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology, 2016
Cardiac fibroblasts help maintain the normal architecture of the healthy heart and are responsible for scar formation and the healing response to pathological insults. Various genetic, biomechanical, or humoral factors stimulate fibroblasts to become contractile smooth muscle-like cells called myofibroblasts that secrete large amounts of extracellular ...

Hyaluronan-Binding Protein Promotes Fibroblast Transformation and Heart Failure by Modulating the STAT5A–MMP13 Pathway

open access: yesBiomedicines
Background: Adverse cardiac remodeling drives heart failure progression, but the role of hyaluronan-binding protein (HYBID) in this process remains unclear.

Soluble St2 Induces Cardiac Fibroblast Activation and Collagen Synthesis via Neuropilin-1

open access: yesCells, 2020
Circulating levels of soluble interleukin 1 receptor-like 1 (sST2) are increased in heart failure and associated with poor outcome, likely because of the activation of inflammation and fibrosis.

Time after time – circadian clocks through the lens of oscillator theory

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Oscillator theory bridges physics and circadian biology. Damped oscillators require external drivers, while limit cycles emerge from delayed feedback and nonlinearities. Coupling enables tissue‐level coherence, and entrainment aligns internal clocks with environmental cues.

Controlled Delivery of Sonic Hedgehog Morphogen and Its Potential for Cardiac Repair [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The morphogen Sonic hedgehog (Shh) holds great promise for repair or regeneration of tissues suffering ischemic injury, however clinical translation is limited by its short half-life in the body.

Primary, cardiac, fibroblastic osteosarcoma

open access: yesMedicine, 2018
Primary cardiac osteosarcoma is a rare tumor. To our knowledge, only 15 cases have been reported in the literature in the past 10 years. We describe a case of primary, cardiac, fibroblastic osteosarcoma in a 42-year-old woman.A 42-year-old woman with a 10-day history of chest pain.

Virtual cardiac monolayers for electrical wave propagation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The complex structure of cardiac tissue is considered to be one of the main determinants of an arrhythmogenic substrate. This study is aimed at developing the first mathematical model to describe the formation of cardiac tissue, using a joint in silico ...
