Pharmacological modulation of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) EP receptors improves cardiomyocyte function under hyperglycemic conditions

Physiological Reports, 2022
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) affects >30 million Americans and nearly 70% of individuals with T2D will die from cardiovascular disease (CVD). Circulating levels of the inflammatory signaling lipid, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), are elevated in the setting of obesity

Symmetry Breaking and Epithelial Cell Extrusion

Cells, 2020
Cell extrusion is a striking morphological event found in epithelia and endothelia. It is distinguished by two symmetry-breaking events: a loss of planar symmetry, as cells are extruded in either apical or basal directions; and loss of mechanochemical ...

Differential transport function of lymphatic vessels in the rat tail model and the long-term effects of Indocyanine Green as assessed with near-infrared imaging

Frontiers in Physiology, 2013
Introduction: Near-infrared (NIR) imaging has emerged as a novel imaging modality for assessing lymphatic function in vivo. While the technique has provided quantitative data previously unavailable, questions remain in regards to the spatiotemporal ...

Contractile units in disordered actomyosin bundles arise from F-actin buckling

, 2012
Bundles of filaments and motors are central to contractility in cells. The classic example is striated muscle, where actomyosin contractility is mediated by highly organized sarcomeres which act as fundamental contractile units. However, many contractile

Active wetting of epithelial tissues

, 2019
Development, regeneration and cancer involve drastic transitions in tissue morphology. In analogy with the behavior of inert fluids, some of these transitions have been interpreted as wetting transitions.

Diabetes-induced alterations in urothelium function:Enhanced ATP release and nerve-evoked contractions in the streptozotocin rat bladder [PDF]

, 2018
Up to 80% of patients with diabetes mellitus develop lower urinary tract complications, most commonly diabetic bladder dysfunction (DBD). The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of diabetes on the function of the inner bladder lining ...

Viability and Contractility of Rat Brain Pericytes in Conditions That Mimic Stroke; an in vitro Study

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
Reopening of the cerebral artery after occlusion often results in “no-reflow” that has been attributed to the death and contraction (rigor mortis) of pericytes.

Suppression of lusitropy as a disease mechanism in cardiomyopathies

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
In cardiac muscle the action of adrenaline on β1 receptors of heart muscle cells is essential to adjust cardiac output to the body’s needs. Adrenergic activation leads to enhanced contractility (inotropy), faster heart rate (chronotropy) and faster ...
