Atrial fibrosis in atrial fibrillation: Mechanisms, mapping techniques and clinical applications

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Summary of key aspects of atrial fibrosis in atrial fibrillation, highlighting atrial fibrosis as a hallmark of atrial fibrillation (AF). (1) Different types of fibrosis (blue), illustrating reparative and reactive fibrosis; (2) fibrosis detection techniques (green), illustrating late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic ...

Effects of Connexin 43 Inhibition in an Ovalbumin-induced Mouse Model of Asthma

Iranian Journal of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, 2018
Connexion 43 (Cx43), a gap junction protein, is expressed abundantly in the airway and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of asthma. However, the effects of blocking Cx43 in asthma remain unclear.

Cellular mechanisms of radiation‐induced myocyte dysfunction: effects on calcium handling, ion channel regulation and mitochondrial energetics

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Dose‐dependent effects of radiation on cardiac electrophysiology and arrhythmia susceptibility. At low radiation doses (left), increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) initiate an ROS–Ca2+ positive feedback loop involving calcium/calmodulin‐dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) activation, enhanced L‐type Ca2+ current (ICaL ...

CONNEXIN 43 HEMICHANNELS CAN DRIVE THE GLIOBLASTOMA SPREADING

European Journal of Histochemistry
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary tumor of the central nervous system (CNS) among high-grade gliomas (HGG). Patients with GBM often have a poor prognosis.

Electrodiffusion in cardiac intercalated disc nanostructures alters cell–cell action potential transmission via ephaptic coupling: A model study

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Ephaptic phenomena in a high‐resolution model of the cardiac intercalated disc. Meshed representation of a tortuous intercalated disc that was generated based on electron and super‐resolution microscopy data. Na+ channels (red) and gap junctions (green) are heterogeneously distributed, with additional regions of reduced ion ...

Intercalated disk structure, tissue heterogeneity and ion channel distribution modulate conduction and local calcium influx

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A, three‐dimensional representation of cardiac intercalated disk, reduced to a 100‐partition, computationally efficient network representation. B, ion dynamics within intercalated disk extracellular cleft space. C, rapid pacing leads to localized conduction block in tissue with regions of perturbed intercalated disk (ID ...

An age‐associated decline in the role of the sarcoplasmic reticulum and associated calcium‐handling proteins sets the pace for sinoatrial node function

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Stable, responsive pacemaking in the sinoatrial node is driven by the activity of the funny current (membrane clock), interplay of calcium cycling and release from the sarcoendoplasmic reticulum with depolarising sodium‐calcium exchange current (calcium clock). With increasing age, key proteins associated with calcium cycling are

Longer action potential duration in the Purkinje network than in the ventricular myocardium delays retrograde activation of the human His‐Purkinje system

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Activation time (AT) maps from right ventricular apical pacing in a human ventricles model with longer action potential duration in the His‐Purkinje system (HPS) than in the myocardium (MYO). For pacing with a long S1S2 coupling interval (CI), the AT from the myocardial pacing site to the first AT of the HPS (ATMYO) is longer ...

The endocrine product of renal (preglomerular) contractile pericytes depends on prolyl‐4‐hydroxylases 2 and 3

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Preglomerular pericyte‐like SMMHC+ vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) display marked endocrine plasticity. Hypotension caused by salt depletion and angiotensin‐converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition induces a reversible transformation of these VSMCs toward an endocrine state that produces renin.

Age‐ and sex‐specific modulation of human cardiac electrophysiology by doxorubicin

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend DOX differentially impacts cardiac electrophysiology based on sex and age. Sex differences were primarily observed among younger hearts, where action potential duration (APD) prolongation was observed in females, but not in males. Created using BioRender. George, S. (2026) https://BioRender.com/wresf1k Abstract Acute doxorubicin (
