In Vitro Assessment of Cardiac Fibroblast Activation at Physiologic Stiffness
Abstract Cardiac fibroblasts (CF) are an essential cell type in cardiac physiology, playing diverse roles in maintaining structural integrity, extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis, and tissue repair. Under normal conditions, these cells reside in the interstitium in a quiescent state poised to sense and respond to injury by synthesizing and secreting ...

Protection‐Free, Two‐step Synthesis of C5‐C Functionalized Pyrimidine Nucleosides
Abstract A simple, reliable, and efficient method for the gram‐scale chemical synthesis of pyrimidine nucleosides functionalized with C5‐carboxyl, nitrile, ester, amide, or amidine, starting from unprotected uridine and cytidine, is described. The protocol involves the synthesis of 5‐trifluoromethyluridine and 5‐trifluoromethylcytidine with Langlois ...

Farmacogenética en Fibrosis Quística. [PDF]
La fibrosis quística (a partir de ahora referida como FQ) fue descrita por primera vez en 1936 como una entidad separada. También recibía el nombre de “mucoviscidosis” debido a la acumulación de espesas secreciones mucosas que bloqueaban las vías aéreas,

Normal mucus formation requires cAMP-dependent HCO3- secretion and Ca2+-mediated mucin exocytosis. [PDF]
Evidence from the pathology in cystic fibrosis (CF) and recent results in vitro indicate that HCO3- is required for gel-forming mucins to form the mucus that protects epithelial surfaces.
