β Subunits Control the Effects of Human Kv4.3 Potassium Channel Phosphorylation

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2017
The transient outward K+ current, Ito, activates early in the cardiac myocyte action potential, to begin repolarization. Human Ito is generated primarily by two Kv4.3 potassium channel α subunit splice variants (Kv4.3L and Kv4.3S) that diverge only by a ...

Tapered Pillar Design for High‐Precision Force Readout in Miniaturized Engineered Heart Tissues From Human Pluripotent Stem Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Engineered heart tissues (EHTs) are a valuable approach in capturing human cardiac physiology and drug responses in vitro. Here, a novel tapered pillar design is developed in an EHT platform to confine tissues in a predefined position‐ at the middle of the pillar height.

Engineering Extracellular Microenvironments: The Impact of Fibrous Materials on Cell Behavior

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Fibrous structures are key elements of the native extracellular matrix and crucial for directing cell behavior. This review discusses how fiber properties such as composition, diameter, and alignment affect cell responses in 2D and 3D systems. Strategies for integrating fibrous cues into engineered tissues are highlighted, and future directions for ...

Mechanics of the left ventricle

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 1982
A theory is presented for the mechanics of the left ventricle. A linear continuum description of the myocardium is developed, which incorporates anisotropic elastic effects due to the fiber direction field. The relation between fiber tension and fiber strain contains a time-dependent activation function that drives the ventricle around its cycle.

Successful treatment of a huge thrombus with thrombolytic therapy in a patient with normal left ventricle function and Takayasu arteritis

open access: yesTürk Kardiyoloji Derneği Arşivi, 2014
We report a case of thrombus treated with thrombolytic therapy in a patient with normal cardiac functions and Takayasu arteritis. A 27-year-old man with a history of Takayasu arteritis was admitted to our out-patient clinic with a complaint of both right
