CADUCEUS, SCIPIO, ALCADIA: Cell therapy trials using cardiac-derived cells for patients with post myocardial infarction LV dysfunction, still evolving. [PDF]
The early results of the CArdiosphere-Derived aUtologous stem CElls to reverse ventricUlar dySfunction study were recently published in the Lancet [1]. This study is a phase 1 prospective randomised study, performed at two centres. The study was designed

Direct Cardiac Cellular Reprogramming for Cardiac Regeneration [PDF]
Direct cardiac cellular reprogramming of endogenous cardiac fibroblasts directly into induced cardiomyocytes is a highly feasible, promising therapeutic option for patients with advanced heart failure. The most successful cardiac reprogramming strategy will likely be a multimodal approach involving an optimal combination of cardio-differentiating ...

MicroRNAs in heart and circulation during physical exercise
Exercise training is beneficial to the cardiovascular system. MicroRNAs (miRNAs, miRs) are a class of conserved non-coding RNAs and play a wide-ranging role in the regulation of eukaryotic gene expression.

Cardiac protection by pirfenidone after myocardial infarction: a bioinformatic analysis
Left ventricular (LV) remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI) is promoted by an intense fibrotic response, which could be targeted by the anti-fibrotic drug pirfenidone.

Neutrophil extracellular trap (NET)-formation represents an important defence mechanism for the rapid clearance of infections. However, exaggerated NET formation has been shown to negatively affect tissue-regeneration after injury.

"Of Mice and Measures": A Project to Improve How We Advance Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Therapies to the Clinic [PDF]
A new line of dystrophic mdx mice on the DBA/2J (D2) background has emerged as a candidate to study the efficacy of therapeutic approaches for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). These mice harbor genetic polymorphisms that appear to increase the severity

Metabolic Regulation of Cardiac Regeneration
The mortality due to heart diseases remains highest in the world every year, with ischemic cardiomyopathy being the prime cause. The irreversible loss of cardiomyocytes following myocardial injury leads to compromised contractility of the remaining myocardium, adverse cardiac remodeling, and ultimately heart failure.

Cardiosphere-derived cells suppress allogeneic lymphocytes by production of PGE2 acting via the EP4 receptor [PDF]
derived cells (CDCs) are a cardiac progenitor cell population, which have been shown to possess cardiac regenerative properties and can improve heart function in a variety of cardiac diseases. Studies in large animal models have predominantly focussed on
