G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) play key physiological roles in numerous tissues,
including the heart, and their dysfunction influences a wide range of cardiovascular …

Opioid peptide receptor (OPR) and β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) are well-established
members of G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily and are involved in regulating …

We have developed a mixed ester of hyaluronan with butyric and retinoic acid (HBR) that
acted as a novel cardiogenic/vasculogenic agent in human mesenchymal stem cells …

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)/FGF receptor (FGFR) signaling plays a crucial role in
mesoderm formation and patterning. Heartless mutant studies in Drosophila suggest that …

Opioids are sometimes used to treat pain in ulcerative wounds, and it is speculated that pain
interferes with the healing process. Because the direct effect of opioids on this process …

Modulation of stem cell differentiation is an important assignment for cellular engineering.
Embryonic stem (ES) cells can differentiate into cardiomyocytes, but the efficiency is typically …

Protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes constitute a family of ubiquitous phosphotransferases
which act as key transducers in many agonist-induced signaling cascades. To date, at least …

Radiofrequency (RF) waves from Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity) technologies have become
ubiquitous, with Internet access spreading into homes, and public areas. The human body …

Embryonic stem (ES) cell lines, derived from the inner cell mass (ICM) of blastocyst‐stage
embryos, are pluripotent and have a virtually unlimited capacity for self‐renewal and …

Growth factors, hormones, and neurotransmitters have been implicated in the regulation of
stem cell fate. Since various neural precursors express functional neurotransmitter …
