Direct comparison of distinct naive pluripotent states in human embryonic stem cells [PDF]

, 2017
Until recently, human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) were shown to exist in a state of primed pluripotency, while mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) display a naive or primed pluripotent state.

microRNA-1 regulates sarcomere formation and suppresses smooth muscle gene expression in the mammalian heart

eLife, 2013
microRNA-1 (miR-1) is an evolutionarily conserved, striated muscle-enriched miRNA. Most mammalian genomes contain two copies of miR-1, and in mice, deletion of a single locus, miR-1-2, causes incompletely penetrant lethality and subtle cardiac defects ...

The Role of Extracellular Vesicles MicroRNAs in Sarcopenia: From Aging to Multi‐Morbidity

AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
Exosomes transporting miRNAs play a crucial bidirectional regulatory role in the process of sarcopenia, both in natural aging and under various pathological conditions. ABSTRACT Sarcopenia, defined as progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, occurs during aging and has also been recognized for its detrimental effects in various disease ...

c-Src inhibition improves cardiovascular function but not remodeling or fibrosis in Ang II-induced hypertension [PDF]

, 2016
c-Src plays an important role in angiotensin II (Ang II) signaling. Whether this member of the Src family kinases is involved in the development of Ang II–induced hypertension and associated cardiovascular damage in vivo remains unknown. Here, we studied

MYBPC3 D389V Variant Induces Hypercontractility in Cardiac Organoids

Cells
MYBPC3, encoding cardiac myosin binding protein-C (cMyBP-C), is the most mutated gene known to cause hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). However, since little is known about the underlying etiology, additional in vitro studies are crucial to defining the ...

A comprehensive proteome and phosphoproteome atlas across nine organs of the Chinese hamster

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study presents the first comprehensive proteome and phosphoproteome atlas of the Chinese hamster across nine organs (heart, liver, lung, kidney, spleen, cerebral cortex, skeletal muscle, stomach, and testis or ovary). A total of 14 219 proteins were identified in the proteome, with 11 828 phosphorylated proteins and 47 122 phosphorylation sites ...

Force stimulation promotes nerve regeneration by restoring cellular energy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Mechanical stimulation can help nerves regenerate in various ways. We developed two devices (a piezo‐motor‐driven stretching device and a SAW‐based actuator) to apply mechanical stimulation to sciatic nerve and DRG neurons. Our study shows that appropriate mechanical force stimulation can promote regeneration by restoring the energy supply to the ...

Titin Is Present in the Elastic Tethers That Connect Separating Anaphase Chromosomes in Crane‐Fly Spermatocytes

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Elastic tethers connect telomeres of separating chromosomes in anaphase of animal cells. Immunofluorescence staining of titin in crane‐fly spermatocytes, using 4 different antibodies, shows that the giant elastic protein titin seems to be a component of mitotic tethers: titin “strands” extend between separating chromosomes, connecting their ...

A One Health Approach to Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. [PDF]

, 2017
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited cardiac disease in humans and results in significant morbidity and mortality. Research over the past 25 years has contributed enormous insight into this inherited disease particularly in the ...
