Fluidic Culture and Analysis of Pulmonary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells for the Study of Pulmonary Hypertension

Analytical Sciences, 2016
There is an urgent need to develop novel in-vitro models to mimic the disease conditions in pulmonary hypertension (PH). We developed a microfluidic cell culture device for PH studies that withstood high shear stress. Techniques were also developed for cell recovery from the microchannel and mRNA isolation from the collected cells.

The effects of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors on the ‘forgotten’ right ventricle

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1045-1058, April 2025.
Abstract With the progress in diagnosis, treatment and imaging techniques, there is a growing recognition that impaired right ventricular (RV) function profoundly affects the prognosis of patients with heart failure (HF), irrespective of their left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).

Cilostazol in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction—The CLIP‐HFpEF trial

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1437-1446, April 2025.
• Cilostazol is an oral PDE‐3 inhibitor that may have advantageous effects in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). • Cilostazol significantly improved short‐term heart failure‐related health status scores (KCCQ‐12) and NT‐proBNP levels when compared to placebo.

The Endothelial CXCR Family in Vascular Health and Disease

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endothelial cells (ECs) form the dynamic interface between blood and tissue, serving as key regulators of vascular homeostasis, inflammation, and repair. Among the molecular systems governing endothelial behavior, the C‐X‐C motif chemokine receptor (CXCR) family—originally characterized in immunology for its roles in leukocyte trafficking and ...

Metrnl: A Novel Therapeutic Target in Atherosclerosis

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory vascular disease and the main pathological basis of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. Exploration of endogenous protective factors in the disease is beneficial for the establishment of new therapeutic strategies.

CD163 is expressed and modulated in human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells: Implications for pulmonary artery hypertension

4.3 Pulmonary Circulation and Pulmonary Vascular Disease, 2015
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) is a rare but fatal disease characterised by remodelling of the pulmonary vasculature, increased vascular resistance and right-heart failure. In patients with PAH the iron-regulatory hormone hepcidin is elevated and iron homeostasis compromised.

ATP Citrate Lyase in Metabolic Disease: Mechanistic Insights and Clinical Potential

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ATP citrate lyase (ACLY) is a central metabolic hub that diverts mitochondrial citrate to fuel de novo lipogenesis, cholesterol biosynthesis, and protein acetylation. Given its robust correlation with pathological changes in multiple human diseases, ACLY inhibitors featuring distinct pharmacological strengths have been developed for therapeutic ...
