Molecular Communications For Cardiomyocytes

39th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2017
The continued miniaturization of electronics makes it realistic to monitor internal cardiac disease processes by wireless implantable medical sensors and actuators incorporated in implantable cardiac devices. In order to deal with some cardiac diseases, this paper introduces the molecular communication methods for cardiac muscle cell communications.

FGF13 Deficiency Ameliorates Paclitaxel‐Induced Neuropathic Pain by Inhibiting VASH1‐Mediated Microtubule Detyrosination to Promote Mitophagy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
FGF13 is upregulated in DRG neurons of PIPNP model mice. DRG neuron‐specific knockout of FGF13 ameliorates PIPNP symptoms. Mechanistically, FGF13 potentiates microtubule detyrosination by promoting VASH1 binding to microtubules. FGF13 knockout suppresses VASH1‐mediated microtubule detyrosination and promotes α‐tubulin tyrosination.

Ubiquitin‐specific protease 25 improves myocardial ischemia–reperfusion injury by deubiquitinating NLRP3 and negatively regulating NLRP3 inflammasome activity in cardiomyocytes

Clinical and Translational Medicine
Background Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MI/RI) restricts the effect of myocardial reperfusion therapy and lacks effective prevention and treatment methods. Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs), especially members of the ubiquitin‐specific protease (

Developmentally Inspired Bioprinting of Nascent Multicellular Human Heart Tissue Through in Situ Differentiation and Morphogenesis of iPSCs

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A developmentally inspired bioprinting approach enables the fabrication of pluripotent tissues that undergo shape‐morphing and in situ cardiac lineage specification. This method employs embedded bioprinting to deposit iPSCs within soft granular hydrogels to create pluripotent tissue constructs that undergo cell‐mediated shape morphogenesis.

Traction Force Microscopy for Viscoelastic Substrates: A Semi‐Analytical Method

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A semi‐analytical viscoelastic traction force microscopy framework is introduced for quantifying time‐resolved cell tractions on flat finite‐thickness substrates. The method generalizes elastic traction force microscopy to Generalized Maxwell materials, identifies when elastic approximations remain valid and, when they do not, shows that inferred ...

Enhancing Maturation of Human Neuromuscular Organoids via Electrical Stimulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A framework for on‐demand and non‐invasive exposure of human neuromuscular organoids (NMOs) to electrical stimuli is established to promote their maturation. The robustness and effectiveness of different stimulation regimes are evaluated via thorough characterization of organoid tissue structure and contraction capacity. Chronic electrical stimulation,

GHRHR Deficiency Enhances Retinal Ganglion Cell Survival and Visual Functions in Experimental Glaucoma by Inhibiting Ferroptosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Glaucoma, a major cause of blindness, involves retinal ganglion cell (RGC) degeneration. This study shows growth hormone‐releasing hormone receptor (GHRHR) deficiency preserves RGC survival and restores vision, unlike activation which only aids survival.
