Reperfusion is mandatory to salvage ischemic myocardium from infarction, but reperfusion
per se contributes to injury and ultimate infarct size. Therefore, cardioprotection beyond that …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of posttranscriptional regulators that have recently
introduced an additional level of intricacy to our understanding of gene regulation. There are …

Type I programmed cell death (PCD) or apoptosis is critical for cellular self-destruction for a
variety of processes such as development or the prevention of oncogenic transformation …

Non‐technical summary MicroRNA (miRNA) molecules are essential intracellular mediators
of numerous biological processes including angiogenesis, inflammation, and mitochondrial …

Background/Aims. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of endogenous noncoding RNAs
that regulate gene expression in eukaryotes. Recently, exosomes from cardiomyocytes …

Early reperfusion of ischemic cardiac tissue remains the most effective intervention for
improving clinical outcome following myocardial infarction. However, abnormal increases in …

Though experimental, stem cell transplantation has the potential to improve the condition of
the heart after myocardial infarction. It does so by reducing infarct size and inducing repair of …

We demonstrate the first use of smartphone spectrophotometry for readout of fluorescence-
based biological assays. We evaluated the smartphone fluorimeter in the context of a …

miR-21 is a 22-nucleotide long microRNA that matches target mRNAs in a complementary
base pairing fashion and regulates gene expression by repressing or degrading target …

Hypoxia, or low oxygen tension, is a unique environmental stress that induces global
changes in a complex regulatory network of transcription factors and signaling proteins to …
