Cardiac specific expression of threonine 5 to alanine mutant sarcolipin results in structural remodeling and diastolic dysfunction. [PDF]
The functional importance of threonine 5 (T5) in modulating the activity of sarcolipin (SLN), a key regulator of sarco/endoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) pump was studied using a transgenic mouse model with cardiac specific expression of ...

A comparative study fourth order runge kutta-tvd Scheme and fluent software case of inlet flow problems [PDF]
Inlet as part of aircraft engine plays important role in controlling the rate of airflow entering to the engine. The shape of inlet has to be designed in such away to make the rate of airflow does not change too much with angle of attack and also not ...

A Soft Robotic Model for Simulating Heart Valve Disease and Cardiac Interventions
This paper introduces a fully synthetic fabrication methodology for a soft robotic, in‐vitro model of the left‐heart, complete with a functioning mitral valve apparatus. With a view towards patient‐specific modeling, we demonstrate physiological flow and pressure waveforms, tunable mitral valve function with clinical imaging compatibility, and its use ...

Transcriptional analysis of the mammalian heart with special reference to its endocrine function
Background Pharmacological and gene ablation studies have demonstrated the crucial role of the endocrine function of the heart as mediated by the polypeptide hormones ANF and BNP in the maintenance of cardiovascular homeostasis.

Integrated multi‐omic profiling maps the gene‐regulatory landscape of the coelomic mesothelium across heart, lung, and pancreas. A cardiac‐restricted regulatory program is uncovered in which TBX20 activates heart mesothelial (epicardial) cis‐regulatory elements, while MAF emerges as a conserved regulator of mesothelial identity.

Heart Atria Granularity Effects of Changes in Water-Electrolyte Balance
SummaryAtrial granularity was measured using a new morphometric method in rats subjected to procedures known to alter water-electrolyte balance. It was found that water deprivation and sodium deficiency lead to atrial hypergranulation, whereas, the combined administration of desoxycorticosterone (2.5 mg/100 g body wt/day) and 2% NaCl in the drinking ...

Connexin 43‐Enriched Vesicles Improve Synchronization in hiPSC‐Derived Cardiomyocytes
Plasma membrane‐derived Connectosomes enriched in connexin‐43 are produced from donor hiPSCs and applied to hiPSC‐derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC‐CMs). Connexin‐43 channels on Connectosomes remain functional, strengthening intercellular electrochemical coupling and increasing network synchronization over time.
