Native cardiac magnetic resonance T1 mapping and cardiac mechanics as assessed by speckle tracking echocardiography in patients with beta-thalassaemia major

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2022
Background: We hypothesize that cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) native T1 is associated with myocardial deformation in thalassaemia patients. The present study aimed to compare CMR native T1 values to conventional T2* values in patients with beta ...

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

Advanced 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.

Intelligent Micro/Nanorobots for Targeted Interventional Therapy: From Bench to Clinic

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Zirui Zhang et al. reviewed the application and challenges of mobile nanomachines in interventional therapy. By converting exogenous energy, including chemical, magnetic, optical, and ultrasonic sources, into mechanical forces, micro/nanorobots (MNRs) enable precise actuation at unprecedented scales. Evolving far beyond traditional drug delivery, these

Chemical Screening Identifies Danofloxacin as a Self‐Renewal Agonist of Embryonic Stem Cells through Alleviation of HDAC1‐Mediated Deacetylation of Tert and Prdm10

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identified Danofloxacin as a novel supporter of the maintenance of mouse embryonic stem cell (ESC) pluripotency. It functions partially by inhibiting HDAC1, which increases specific histone acetylation marks and activates key genes like Tert and Prdm10.

The Degree of t-System Remodeling Predicts Negative Force-Frequency Relationship and Prolonged Relaxation Time in Failing Human Myocardium

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
The normally positive cardiac force-frequency relationship (FFR) becomes flat or negative in chronic heart failure (HF). Here we explored if remodeling of the cardiomyocyte transverse tubular system (t-system) is associated with alterations in FFR and ...
