Modelling Growth, Remodelling and Damage of a Thick-walled Fibre-reinforced Artery with Active Response: Application to Cerebral Vasospasm and Treatment [PDF]
Cerebral vasospasm, a prolonged constriction of cerebral arteries, is the first cause of morbidity and mortality for patients who survive hospitalisation after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage. The recent finding that stent-retrievers can successfully treat the disease has challenged the viewpoint that damage to the extracellular matrix is necessary.

ABSTRACT This study explores the differential expression of lncRNA PVT1 in intracranial aneurysms (IAs) and its role in the phenotypic switching of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). PVT1 and ALOX5 expressions in the serum of IA patients and healthy controls were detected by qRT‐PCR.

A computational study of the effects of remodelled electrophysiology and mechanics on initiation of ventricular fibrillation in human heart failure [PDF]
The study of pathological cardiac conditions such as arrhythmias, a major cause of mortality in heart failure, is becoming increasingly informed by computational simulation, numerically modelling the governing equations. This can provide insight where experimental work is constrained by technical limitations and/or ethical issues.

α‐Synuclein in Parkinson's Disease: From Bench to Bedside
ABSTRACT α‐Synuclein (α‐syn), a pathological hallmark of PD, is emerging as a bridging element at the crossroads between neuro/immune‐inflammatory responses and neurodegeneration in PD. Several evidence show that pathological α‐syn accumulates in neuronal and non‐neuronal cells (i.e., neurons, microglia, macrophages, skin cells, and intestinal cells ...

The onset of pregnancy implies the appearance of a new organ, the placenta. One main function of the placenta is to supply oxygen to the fetus via hemoproteins.

ABSTRACT At different stages of life, from embryonic to postnatal, varying oxygen concentrations modulate cellular gene expression by enhancing or repressing hypoxia‐inducible transcription factors. During embryonic/fetal life, these genes encode proteins involved in adapting to a low‐oxygen environment, including the induction of specific enzymes ...

Assessment of Maternal Vascular Remodeling During Pregnancy in the Mouse Uterus. [PDF]
The placenta mediates the exchange of factors such as gases and nutrients between mother and fetus and has specific demands for supply of blood from the maternal circulation.

Prediction of Preeclampsia in Twins Using First Trimester: cffDNA Fraction, PlGF, and MAP
ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate cell‐free fetal DNA fraction (cffDNAF) as a first‐trimester screening marker for preeclampsia necessitating delivery before 37 weeks' gestation in twin pregnancies alone and combined with other bio‐markers. Methods Women with two live fetuses were enrolled in the first trimester, and evaluated for cffDNAF as a first ...
