Changes in ponderal index and body mass index across childhood and their associations with fat mass and cardiovascular risk factors at age 15 [PDF]
, 2010 Background: Little is known about whether associations between childhood adiposity and later adverse cardiovascular health outcomes are driven by tracking of overweight from childhood to adulthood and/or by vascular and metabolic changes from childhood ...

A ubiquitination-mediated degradation system to target 14-3-3-binding phosphoproteins
Heliyon, 2023 The phosphorylation of 14-3-3 binding motif is involved in many cellular processes. A strategy that enables targeted degradation of 14-3-3-binding phosphoproteins (14-3-3-BPPs) for studying their functions is highly desirable for basic research. Here, we

Cardiovascular System Modeling [PDF]
Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, 2012 Mathematical models and numerical simulations of the cardiovascular system are very useful for understanding the mechanisms influencing its function and its physiological and pathological processes. This modeling research increases the potential for developing new diagnostic and therapeutic cardiovascular techniques or devices and is also helpful for ...

Rise of cGMP by partial phosphodiesterase-3A degradation enhances cardioprotection during hypoxia
Redox Biology, 2021 3′,5′-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) is a druggable second messenger regulating cell growth and survival in a plethora of cells and disease states, many of which are associated with hypoxia. For example, in myocardial infarction and heart failure (
