HGF modulates actin cytoskeleton remodeling and contraction in testicular myoid cells [PDF]

, 2015
The presence of the HGF/Met system in the testicular myoid cells was first discovered by our group. However, the physiological role of this pathway remains poorly understood. We previously reported that HGF increases uPA secretion and TGF-β activation in

AI-Based Estimation of End-Systolic Elastance From Arm-Pressure and Systolic Time Intervals

Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence, 2021
Left ventricular end-systolic elastance (Ees) is a major determinant of cardiac systolic function and ventricular-arterial interaction. Previous methods for the Ees estimation require the use of the echocardiographic ejection fraction (EF).

Underactive bladder - an underestimated entity [PDF]

, 2020
Introduction. The concept of underactive bladder is relatively new. Currently there is no generally accepted definition of this pathology. Diagnosis depends on urodynamic findings, and symptoms are usually rare and intricated with the symptoms of other ...

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

Mechanisms of exercise-induced improvements in the contractile apparatus of the mammalian myocardium [PDF]

, 2010
One of the main outcomes of aerobic endurance exercise training is the improved maximal oxygen uptake, and this is pivotal to the improved work capacity that follows the exercise training.

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 ...

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 ...
