Background and Purpose: The development of endometriotic lesions is crucially dependent on the formation of new blood vessels. In the present study, we analyzed whether this process is regulated by erythropoietin-producing hepatoma receptor B4 (EphB4) …

Cardiomyocyte hypertrophy is a fatal factor in heart disease resulting in heart failure and even mortality. Although many studies have been focusing on the pathogenesis of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, the exact molecular mechanisms are still unexclusive. In …

Cardiopoietic stem cells have reached advanced clinical testing for ischemic heart failure. To profile their molecular influence on recipient hearts, systems proteomics was here applied in a chronic model of infarction randomized with and without human …

The elevated expression of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP1) and increased PARP1 activity, namely, poly(ADP- ribosyl)ation (PARylation), have been observed in cardiac remodeling, leading to extreme energy consumption and myocardial damage. However, …

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is closely associated with profound vascular remodeling, especially pulmonary arterial medial hypertrophy and muscularization, due to aberrant proliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs). Berberine, …

Micro/nanorobots have been extensively ex- plored as a tetherless small-scale robotic biodevice to perform minimally invasive interventions in hard-to-reach regions. Despite the emergence of versatile micro/nanorobots in recent years, matched in vivo …

The spleen is a large lymphoid organ located in the abdomen that filters blood and regulates the immune system. The extent of mobilization of splenic immune cells to peripheral tissues in health and disease, however, remains poorly understood. This is …

OBJECTIVE: To determine the impact of donor age on the therapeutic effect of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in treating adverse remodeling as the result of right ventricle (RV) pressure overload. METHODS: BMSCs were isolated from …

Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is an aggressive peripheral T-cell lymphoma driven by a pool of neoplastic cells originating from T follicular helper (Tfh) cells and concomitant expansion of B cells. Conventional chemotherapies for AITL have …

Using genetically engineered mice lacking estrogen receptor-α non-nuclear signaling, this study demonstrated that estrogen receptor−α non-nuclear signaling activated myocardial cyclic guanosine monophosphate-dependent protein kinase G and conferred …
