Aortic dissection (AD) is accompanied by a decrease in CCDC80 in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). CCDC80 can interact with JAK2, and VSMC‐specific CCDC80 deficiency accelerates the progression of AD by activating the JAK2/STAT3 pathway involved in regulating the phenotype switching and function of VSMCs.

Seismocardiographic Signal Timing with Myocardial Strain
Speckle Tracking Echocardiography (STE) is a relatively new method for cardiac function evaluation. In the current study, STE was used to investigate the timing of heart-induced mostly subaudible (i.e., below the frequency limit of human hearing) chest ...

Doxorubicin‐induced cardiomyopathy involves mitochondrial energy metabolism dysfunction, exacerbated by cardiomyocyte‐specific Slc25a49 deficiency via oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) suppression and glycolysis activation. The Slc25a49–glucose‐6‐phosphate (G6P)–activator protein‐1 (AP‐1) axis drives myocardial injury by upregulating Sln, disrupting ...

Wearable Image‐Based Colorimetric Sensor for Real‐Time Gas Detection with High Chromaticity
Flexible colorimetric gas sensing offers energy‐free operation, intuitive feedback, and stability against environmental changes. This study presents a resonator‐based sensor integrated with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) on a flexible substrate, achieving nearly full RGB coverage and angular robustness up to 60°.

Small animal models have shown improved cardiac function with DPP‐4 inhibition, but many human studies have shown worse outcomes or no benefit. We seek to bridge the gap by studying the DPP‐4 inhibitor sitagliptin in a swine model of chronic myocardial ...

Short‐ and Long‐Term Outcomes of Open, Laparoscopic, and Robot‐Assisted Surgery for Rectal Cancer
Robot‐assisted rectal resection demonstrated superior short and long‐term outcomes compared to laparoscopic and open approaches. ABSTRACT Background Robot‐assisted surgery has short‐term benefits in rectal cancer surgery; however, its long‐term advantages remain unclear. This study compared short‐ and long‐term outcomes of open, laparoscopic, and robot‐
