Potassium‐Dependent Coupling of Retinal Astrocyte Light Response to Müller Glia
Main Points Astrocytes depolarize to light ON and OFF like Müller glia. The astrocyte light response is due to potassium influx. Retinal macroglial current‐voltage responses exhibit rectification which changes with repeated stimulation. ABSTRACT Astrocytes throughout the central nervous system mediate a variety of functions to support proper tissue ...

ABSTRACT Aim Timely myocardial reperfusion is essential for restoring blood flow to post‐ischemic tissue, thereby reducing cardiac injury and limiting infarct size. However, this process can paradoxically result in additional, irreversible myocardial damage, known as myocardial ischemia–reperfusion injury (MIRI).

Abstract Background and Purpose Limb‐girdle muscular dystrophy R2 (LGMD R2) is a rare genetic disorder characterised by progressive weakness and wasting of proximal muscles. LGMD R2 is caused by the loss of function of dysferlin, a transmembrane protein crucial for plasma membrane repair in skeletal muscles.

Immune cell dynamics in heart failure: implicated mechanisms and therapeutic targets
Abstract The relationship between heart failure (HF) and immune activation has garnered significant interest. Studies highlight the critical role of inflammation in HF, affecting cardiac structure and function. Despite promising anti‐inflammatory therapies, clinical trials have faced challenges, indicating an incomplete understanding of immune ...
