BACKGROUND: Direct reprogramming of fibroblasts to cardiomyocytes is a potentially curative strategy for ischemic heart ...

Regardless of origin, resident cFbs are dispersed throughout the heart as strands and sheets that sit between cardiac muscle fibers acting as a scaffold. 28, 29 Their main function is to maintain the ...

Researchers using cardiac MRI have found that long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with early signs of heart damage, according to a study that was published in Radiology. The research ...

Engineering tissue-like scaffolds that can mimic the microstructure, architecture, topology, and mechanical properties of native tissues while offering an excellent environment for cellular growth has ...

The heart is the body's hardest-working muscle. Whether you're awake or asleep, or exercising or resting, your heart is always at work. It pumps blood through arteries to deliver oxygen to organs and ...

Conventional long-term ventricular assist devices continue to be extremely problematic due to infections caused by percutaneous drivelines and thrombotic events associated with the use of ...

Figure 1 shows a schematic summary of the molecular mechanisms regulated by physical exercise that are related to increased glucose uptake in skeletal muscle.We presented information showing that ...

This study investigated strategies to mitigate shrinkage and enhance the functionality of PU fibers for the cardiac cell culture. Aligned PU fibers were annealed at varying temperatures (50 and 100 °C ...

This paper proposes a new algorithm for automatic estimation of muscle fiber orientation (MFO) in musculoskeletal ultrasound images, which is commonly used for both diagnosis and rehabilitation ...
