Generation of a human embryonic stem cell line (WAe009-A-78) carrying homozygous TBX18 knockout
T-Box Transcription Factor 18 is a member of the T-box family, encoding TBX18 protein. As a transcriptional repressor, it related to developmental processes of a majority of tissues and organs and plays crucial part in the embryonic development of ...

Electron-conformational transformations in nanoscopic RyR channels govern both the heart's contraction and beating [PDF]
We show that a simple biophysically based electron-conformational model of RyR channel is able to explain and describe on equal footing the oscillatory regime of the heart's cell release unit both in sinoatrial node (pacemaker) cells under normal ...

Lithium-Induced Sinoatrial Node Dysfunction [PDF]
Lithium is a common mood-stabilizing drug for manic patients. We describe a case of sinoatrial node dysfunction in a patient with serum lithium levels within the therapeutic range. Given the symptomology and severity of the patient's illness, after placing a permanent pacemaker, the patient was discharged on the preadmission dose of lithium.

The mind body problem, part three: ascension of sexual function to cerebral level [PDF]
Physiologically, the somatic nervous system intervenes in external interaction between the body and environment, while autonomic nervous system ensures the functioning of internal organs.

Effects of Cardiac Structural Remodelling During Heart Failure on Cardiac Excitation – Insights from a Heterogeneous 3D Model of the Rabbit Atria [PDF]
Heart failure is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the western world. One of the effects of heart failure is the structural remodelling of cardiac tissue, including tissue dilation and development of fibrosis.

Computer Modelling of the Sinoatrial Node [PDF]
Over the past decades patch-clamp experiments have provided us with detailed information on the different types of ion channels that are present in the cardiac cell membrane. Sophisticated cardiac cell models based on these data can help us understand how the different types of ion channels act together to produce the cardiac action potential.

Calcium channels are essential for excitation-contraction coupling and pacemaker activity in cardiac myocytes. While L-type Ca2+ channels (LCC) have been extensively studied, functional roles of T-type channels (TCC) in native cardiac myocytes are still ...

The sinoatrial node is perhaps one of the most important tissues in the entire body: it is the natural pacemaker of the heart, making it responsible for initiating each-and-every normal heartbeat.

The effect of gag reflex on cardiac sympatovagal tone [PDF]
Objectives: Heart velocity may be influenced by gagging. The medulla oblongata receives the afferents of gag reflex. Neuronal pools of vomiting, salivation and cardiac parasympathetic fibers are very close in this area.
