A human in vitro platform for the evaluation of pharmacology strategies in cardiac ischemia
APL Bioengineering, 2019 Cardiac ischemic events increase the risk for arrhythmia, heart attack, heart failure, and death and are the leading mortality condition globally. Reperfusion therapy is the first line of treatment for this condition, and although it significantly ...

Mitochondria delay action potential propagation
Communications BiologyThe internal resistance of axons to ionic current flow determines action potential conduction velocity. Although mitochondria support axonal function, axons have been modeled as organelle-free cables, and mitochondrial impact on conduction velocity ...

The Association Between Diabetes Mellitus and Atrial Fibrillation: Clinical and Mechanistic Insights
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 A number of clinical studies have reported that diabetes mellitus (DM) is an independent risk factor for Atrial fibrillation (AF). After adjustment for other known risk factors including age, sex, and cardiovascular risk factors, DM remains a significant

Myelination and isochronicity in neural networks
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2009 Our brain contains a multiplicity of neuronal networks. In many of these, information sent from presynaptic neurons travels through a variety of pathways of different distances, yet arrives at the postsynaptic cells at the same time.

Correlation of the Lower Limb Nerve Conduction Velocity with Height and Leg Length
Korean Journal of Clinical Laboratory ScienceNerve conduction study (NCS) is an essential test for the diagnosis and follow-up of peripheral neuropathy. NCS can objectively quantify peripheral nerve function. NCS is affected by physiological factors such as height, age, body mass index, etc. Hence,
