Investigating interactions between epicardial adipose tissue and cardiac myocytes: what can we learn from different approaches? [PDF]
Heart disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Some cardiovascular conditions can be modulated by lifestyle factors such as increased exercise or a healthier diet, but many require surgical or pharmacological ...

Abstract Aims Exercise tolerance is often impaired in type 2 diabetes (T2D), and barriers to regular exercise are common. This study evaluated whether 12 weeks of pioglitazone (PIO) therapy could enhance peak oxygen uptake (V̇O2peak) and the time constant of the primary phase of oxygen uptake (τV̇O2p) during submaximal exercise, compared with exercise ...

Caveolin-1 is required for contractile phenotype expression by airway smooth muscle cells
Airway smooth muscle cells exhibit phenotype plasticity that underpins their ability to contribute both to acute bronchospasm and to the features of airway remodelling in chronic asthma.

ABSTRACT Background Bipolar radiofrequency ablation has been increasingly used in cases with deep intramyocardial circuits refractory to unipolar ablation. Patients with Lamin A/C cardiomyopathy frequently exhibit VT arrhythmia originating from deep in the interventricular septum. Methods and Results We describe our use of bipolar ablation in a patient

Myocardin is differentially required for the development of smooth muscle cells and cardiomyocytes.
Myocardin is a serum response factor (SRF) coactivator exclusively expressed in cardiomyocytes and smooth muscle cells (SMCs). However, there is highly controversial evidence as to whether myocardin is essential for normal differentiation of these cell ...

Abstract Cellular communication network factor 3 (CCN3), also known as nephroblastoma overexpressed (NOV), is an adipocytokine that has recently been suggested to be secreted selectively by hypothalamic arcuate nucleus kisspeptin (ARNKISS) neurons to protect bone density during lactation. Using RNAscope hybridization, we have examined the expression of

Airway smooth muscle (ASM) hypertrophy is a cardinal feature of severe asthma, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain uncertain. Forced protein kinase B/Akt 1 activation is known to induce myocyte hypertrophy in other muscle types, and, since a ...

Lesion Formation in Cardiac Pulsed‐Field Ablation: Acute to Chronic Cellular Level Changes
ABSTRACT As pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) emerges as a promising therapy for atrial arrhythmias, an understanding of the cellular injury to cardiac tissue is critical to evaluating and interpreting results for each PFA system. This review aims to detail the mechanism of cell death for PFA, compare the cell death mechanism to thermal ablation modalities ...

The light and shadow of senescence and inflammation in cardiovascular pathology and regenerative medicine [PDF]
Recent epidemiologic studies evidence a dramatic increase of cardiovascular diseases, especially associated with the aging of the world population. During aging, the progressive impairment of the cardiovascular functions results from the compromised ...
