Exercise training corrects control of spontaneous calcium waves in hearts from myocardial infarction heart failure rats [PDF]
Impaired cardiac control of intracellular diastolic Ca<sup>2+</sup> gives rise to arrhythmias. Whereas exercise training corrects abnormal cyclic Ca<sup>2+</sup> handling in heart failure, the effect on diastolic Ca<sup>2 ...

(1) Background: Oxidative energy metabolism is presumed to rely on the optimal iron supply. Primary human cardiac myocytes (HCM) exposed to different iron availability conditions during mechanical stretch are anticipated to demonstrate expression changes

HIV-1 subtype C unproductively infects human cardiomyocytes in vitro and induces apoptosis mitigated by an anti-Gp120 aptamer. [PDF]
HIV-associated cardiomyopathy (HIVCM) is of clinical concern in developing countries because of a high HIV-1 prevalence, especially subtype C, and limited access to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).

Generation of mature compact ventricular cardiomyocytes from human pluripotent stem cells
Cardiomyocytes of heart ventricles consist of subpopulations of trabecular and compact subtypes. Here the authors describe the generation of structurally, metabolically and functionally mature compact ventricular cardiomyocytes as well as mature atrial ...

Development and characterization of a scaffold-free 3D spheroid model of iPSC-derived human cardiomyocytes [PDF]
Purpose: Cardiomyocytes are terminally differentiated cells in the adult heart and ischemia and cardiotoxic compounds can lead to cell death and irreversible decline of cardiac function.

Differentiation of Cardiomyocytes from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells Using Monolayer Culture
Human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) are a promising cell source for cardiac tissue engineering and cell-based therapies for heart repair because they can be expanded in vitro and differentiated into most cardiovascular cell types, including ...

Preconditioning human cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells [PDF]
Background: The effects of simulated “ischemia” and “reperfusion” were evaluated in cell cultures of human ventricular cardiomyocytes and human saphenous vein endothelial cells. Methods: Myocyte and endothelial cell cultures were exposed to a low volume (

In-silico analysis of aging mechanisms of action potential remodeling in human atrial cardiomyocites
Electrophysiology of cardiomyocytes changes with aging. Agerelated ionic remodeling in cardiomyocytes may increase the incidence and prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in the elderly and affect the efficiency of antiarrhythmic drugs.

Background: Our research team analyzed the microRNA (miRNA)-197-3p involved in cardioprotection, and we demonstrated that the overexpression of miRNA-197-3p could be linked to a higher risk of cardiac damage.
