Cardiovascular Research, 2021 AIMS Free fatty acid receptor 4 (Ffar4) is a G-protein coupled receptor for endogenous medium/long-chain fatty acids that attenuates metabolic disease and inflammation. However, the function of Ffar4 in the heart is unclear. Given its putative beneficial

A dynamic microtubule cytoskeleton directs medial actomyosin function during tube formation [PDF]
, 2014 The cytoskeleton is a major determinant of cell-shape changes that drive the formation of complex tissues during development. Important roles for actomyosin during tissue morphogenesis have been identified, but the role of the microtubule cytoskeleton is

ROS-mediated bidirectional regulation of miRNA results in distinct pathologic heart conditions.
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications - BBRC, 2015 Under distinct pathological heart conditions, the expression of a single miRNA can display completely opposite patterns. However, the mechanism underlying the bidirectional regulation of a single miRNA and the clinical implications of this regulation ...

A comparative study of rubber band ligation versus BANANA-Clip in grade 1 to 3 internal hemorrhoids [PDF]
Annals of Coloproctology, 2023 Purpose Rubber band ligation (RBL) for grade 1 to 3 internal hemorrhoids is a well-established modality of choice. But RBL is also a kind of surgical treatment; it is not free from complications (e.g., delayed bleeding [DB], rectal stenosis).

Mitochondrial Creatine Kinase Attenuates Pathologic Remodeling in Heart Failure [PDF]
, 2022 BACKGROUND: Abnormalities in cardiac energy metabolism occur in heart failure (HF) and contribute to contractile dysfunction, but their role, if any, in HF-related pathologic remodeling is much less established.

Myocardial Fibrosis in Constrictive Pericarditis [PDF]
Circulation, 1973 It has been suggested that a tentative preoperative decision favoring a pericardial lesion, on the one hand, or a myocardial lesion, on the other, may be made from certain noninvasive procedures, including the electrocardiogram. An attempt was therefore made to detect associated myocardial fibrosis by electrocardiogram in 67 patients with constrictive ...

The effects of curvature and constriction on airflow and energy loss in pathological tracheas
Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology, 2016 This paper considers factors that play a significant role in determining inspiratory pressure and energy losses in the human trachea. Previous characterisations of pathological geometry changes have focussed on relating airway constriction and subsequent pressure loss, however many pathologies that affect the trachea cause deviation, increased ...

Mechanical conditions for stable symmetric cell constriction
, 2019 Cell constriction is a decisive step for division in many cells. However, its physical pathway remains poorly understood, calling for a quantitative analysis of the forces required in different cytokinetic scenarios.
