Nicorandil alleviates cardiac microvascular ferroptosis in diabetic cardiomyopathy: Role of the mitochondria-localized AMPK-Parkin-ACSL4 signaling pathway

Pharmacological Research
Mitochondria-associated ferroptosis exacerbates cardiac microvascular dysfunction in diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Nicorandil, an ATP-sensitive K+ channel opener, protects against endothelial dysfunction, mitochondrial dysfunction, and DCM; however, its

Coronary microvascular dysfunction is associated with poor glycemic control amongst female diabetics with chest pain and non-obstructive coronary artery disease

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2019
Background Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus are at an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events compared to those without diabetes. The timing, relative to disease onset, and degree of glycemic control that reduces the risk of adverse ...

Mechanisms of endothelial cell dysfunction in cystic fibrosis [PDF]

, 2017
Although cystic fibrosis (CF) patients exhibit signs of endothelial perturbation, the functions of the cystic fibrosis conductance regulator (CFTR) in vascular endothelial cells (EC) are poorly defined.

Early Radiation Therapy Response Assessment Using Multi‐Scale Photoacoustic Imaging

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tomographic and mesoscopic photoacoustics capture intratumoural features of radioresistance and response. ABSTRACT There is a critical unmet clinical need to identify biomarkers that predict and detect radiation therapy (RT) response in cancer. Using the unique capabilities of multi‐scale photoacoustic imaging (PAI) to depict tumor oxygenation and ...

Single and fractionated ionizing radiation induce alterations in endothelial connexin expression and channel function [PDF]

, 2019
Radiotherapy is an effective treatment for most tumor types. However, emerging evidence indicates an increased risk for atherosclerosis after ionizing radiation exposure, initiated by endothelial cell dysfunction. Interestingly, endothelial cells express

TEAD1 Enhances Exosome Secretion and Promotes Exosome‐Mediated Tissue Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
TEAD1 functions as a crucial molecular switch regulating exosome secretion in various cell types. TEAD1 enhances exosome secretion by upregulating key proteins associated with exosome secretion, including RAB11, CD9, and SNAP23. This study reveals a novel role for TEAD1 in regulating exosome secretion and tissue regeneration, particularly in diabetic ...

The association of systemic microvascular changes with lung function and lung density: a cross-sectional study.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Smoking causes endothelial dysfunction and systemic microvascular disease with resultant end-organ damage in the kidneys, eyes and heart. Little is known about microvascular changes in smoking-related lung disease.
