Versatile CRISPR‐Cas Tools for Gene Regulation in Zebrafish via an Enhanced Q Binary System
This study introduces CRISPR‐Q, a transgenic CRISPR‐Cas system leveraging the QFvpr/QUAS binary expression platform in zebrafish. CRISPR‐Q overcomes previous challenges in achieving stable and efficient gene regulation. By enabling precise spatiotemporal control of transcript knockdown (CRISPR‐QKD) and gene activation (CRISPR‐Qa), it provides a ...

Distribution of Major Basic Protein on Human Airway following In Vitro Eosinophil Incubation
Major basic protein (MBP) released from activated eosinophils may influence airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) by either direct effects on airway myocytes or by an indirect effect.

Active Movement of the Tunic in Halocynthia roretzi
Halocynthia roretzi, a solitary ascidian, can swell and deflate its solid, leather-like tunic largely, but it is not clear whether the tunic deforms actively.

Early pathohistological changes in dysfunction of arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis [PDF]
Background. In hemodialysis patients the most common cause of vascular access failure is neointimal hyperplasia of vascular smooth muscle cells at the venous anastomosis of arteriovenous fistulas. Case report.

The lack of the Celf2a splicing factor converts a Duchenne genotype into a Becker phenotype [PDF]
Substitutions, deletions and duplications in the dystrophin gene lead to either the severe Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) or mild Becker muscular dystrophy depending on whether out-of-frame or in-frame transcripts are produced.

This research identified cardiac amyloid pathology, neurotrophic factor depletion, and reduced myocardial nerve function in a transgenic model of cerebral amyloidosis (Tg2576), Aβ‐challenged cardiomyocytes, and in human AD heart tissue. These findings carry significant diagnostic and therapeutic implications, emphasizing the role of neuro‐signaling ...

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 ...

A super‐conductive ionic patch reprograms the post‐infarction microenvironment by enabling stable ionic migration and electrical signal transmission within damaged myocardium. The patch rapidly adheres to cardiac tissue, enhances conduction velocity, suppresses excitation‐contraction decoupling, and promotes structural and functional cardiac repair in ...

Capsaicin-Induced Ca2+ Influx and Constriction of the Middle Meningeal Artery [PDF]
Research in the past on transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1) has been limited to mainly nervous tissue TRPV1 because of the channel’s role in pain perception.

Evidence For Phosphorylation-Dependent Modulation of BK Channel Activity in Vascular Smooth Muscle (VSM) Myocytes and Resistance Arteries [PDF]
VSM excitability is regulated by large conductance, calcium-activated K+ (BK) channels. We have previously reported that type I cGMP-dependent protein kinase (cGKI) phosphorylates the BK channel at key serine residues, leading to augmented BK current magnitude. Here, we investigate the cellular mechanisms regulating the temporal pattern (i.e. onset and
