Reduced Graphene Oxide Enhances the Vascular Organization and Contractile Performance of Fibrin‐Gelatin‐Based Engineered Cardiac Tissue

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Fibrin–gelatin hydrogels functionalized with reduced graphene oxide create a mechanically stable and bioactive 3D environment for engineered cardiac tissue. The composite matrix promotes endothelial lumen formation, enhances sarcomeric protein expression, and increases contractile performance of embedded cardiomyocytes.

Disrupted TFEB/GDNF–cAMP/ATP Coupling Underlies Astrocytic Dysfunction and Depression in LRRK2 G2019S Parkinson's Mice

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The LRRK2 G2019S mutation, a Parkinson's disease–linked variant, has been associated with depression‐like phenotypes, but mechanisms remain unclear. We chart age‐dependent behavioral changes and astrocyte reactivity in G2019S mice and define a pathway connecting LRRK2 to TFEB/GDNF signaling, cellular energetics, and inflammation.

Leukaemia inhibitory factor stimulates proliferation of olfactory neuronal progenitors via inducible nitric oxide synthase.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Neurogenesis continues in the adult brain and in the adult olfactory epithelium. The cytokine, leukaemia inhibitory factor and nitric oxide are both known to stimulate neuronal progenitor cell proliferation in the olfactory epithelium after injury.

Anti-neuroinflammatory Activity of Kamebakaurin From Isodon japonicus via Inhibition of c-Jun NH2-Terminal Kinase and p38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Pathway in Activated Microglial Cells

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2011
.: Compelling evidence supports the notion that the majority of neurodegenerative diseases are associated with microglia-mediated neuroinflammation. Therefore, quelling of microglial activation may lead to neuronal cell survival.

The key role of nitric oxide in hypoxia: hypoxic vasodilation and energy supply-demand matching [PDF]

open access: yes
Significance: a mismatch between energy supply and demand induces tissue hypoxia with the potential to cause cell death and organ failure. Whenever arterial oxygen concentration is reduced, increases in blood flow - 'hypoxic vasodilation' - occur in an ...

Engineering Approaches to Modify Immunomodulatory Functions of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs): Tissue Regeneration and Clinical Application

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) show promise for treating immune‐related disorders through immunomodulation and tissue regeneration. This review gives a brief overview of current clinical approval of MSC therapies. It also discussed how bioengineering, including genetic modification, biomaterial delivery, extracellular vesicles, and iPSC‐derived MSCs,

Inducible nitric oxide synthase in human diseases

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Immunology, 1998
Since its discovery as a biologically active molecule in the late 1980s, nitric oxide (NO) has been found to play an important role as signal molecule in many parts of the organism as well as cytotoxic or regulatory effector molecule of the innate immune response.

Inducible nitric oxide synthase and cardiovascular disease [PDF]

open access: yesCardiovascular Research, 2000
The simple gas nitric oxide (NO) has a diverse array of actions in numerous physiological and pathophysiological processes in the cardiovascular system. Three distinct NO synthase (NOS) isoforms, each encoded for by separate genes, have now been identified [1–4]. nNOS (or ‘neuronal’ NOS, NOS1) and eNOS (or ‘endothelial’ NOS, NOS3) are constitutive, Ca2+

Nitric oxide synthase in skeletal muscle fibres of patients with type 2 diabetes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Muscle-derived nitric oxide (NO) mediates fundamental physiological actions on skeletal muscle including glucose uptake into muscle cells. Recently, we have shown that the altered glucose metabolism in skeletal muscle of patients with type 2 diabetes ...
