Onset of experimental severe cardiac fibrosis is mediated by overexpression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 [PDF]

, 2009
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) 2 is a recently identified homologue of ACE. There is great interest in the therapeutic benefit for ACE2 overexpression in the heart.

NSAIDS AS MODULATORS OF CATION CHANNELS: FENAMATES REPURPOSING IN CHANNELOPATHIES

ChemMedChem, Accepted Article.
Cationic ion channels are transmembrane proteins that regulate the flux of cations (potassium, sodium, and calcium) across cell membrane, playing a pivotal role in many cellular functions. Disruptions of their activity can lead to the so‐called genetic or acquired channelopathies, a heterogeneous group of diseases that affect multiple human systems ...

Epicardial Lineages and Cardiac Repair

Journal of Developmental Biology, 2013
The death of cardiac myocytes resulting from myocardial infarction is a major cause of heart failure worldwide. Effective therapies for regenerating lost cardiac myocytes are lacking.

A novel transgenic reporter of extracellular acidification in zebrafish elucidates skeletal muscle T‐tubule pH regulation

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Disruption of extracellular pH and proton‐sensing can profoundly impact cellular and protein functions, leading to developmental defects. To visualize changes in extracellular pH in the developing embryo, we generated a zebrafish transgenic line that ubiquitously expresses the ratiometric pH‐sensitive fluorescent protein pHluorin2, tethered to

Double labelling immunohistochemical characterization of autonomic sympathetic neurons innervating the sow retractor clitoridis muscle [PDF]

, 2008
Retrograde neuronal tracing and immunohistochemical methods were used to define the neurochemical content of sympathetic neurons projecting to the sow retractor clitoridis muscle (RCM). Differently from the other smooth muscles of genital organs, the RCM

Cell-based gene therapy for mending infarcted hearts [PDF]

, 2011
The goal of this study was to analyse the efficiency of a combinatorial cell/growth factor therapy to improve function of infarcted murine hearts. The Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) isoform, IGF-1Ea, has been shown to reduce scar formation and ...

A Simple and Fast Optical Clearing Method for Whole‐Mount Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) Imaging

Journal of Biophotonics, EarlyView.
In this article, we present 3D‐LIMPID‐FISH: a simple and fast optical clearing method for acquiring 3D images of fluorescence in situ hybridization probes. Figures and movies are provided to showcase the technology, and a detailed protocol is provided to replicate the result.

A pseudo active kinematic constraint for a biological living soft tissue: an effect of the collagen network [PDF]

, 2008
Recent studies in mammalian hearts show that left ventricular wall thickening is an important mechanism for systolic ejection and that during contraction the cardiac muscle develops significant stresses in the muscular cross-fiber direction. We suggested

Effects of 1267 nm Illumination on Microcirculation Regulatory Mechanisms

Journal of Biophotonics, EarlyView.
The question of activation of blood flow regulatory mechanisms during laser illumination remains open to date. This study showed the effect of laser exposure on the microcirculatory bed, which appears in the form of endothelium‐dependent vascular activity.
