Hypertension, myocardial infarction, atherosclerosis, arrhythmias and valvular heart
disease, coagulopathies and stroke, collectively known as cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) …

We show theoretically how adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP)-induced dynamic
dissociations of spectrin filaments (from each other and from the membrane) in the …

Knowledge of normal human cardiac excitation stems from isolated heart or intraoperative
mapping studies under nonphysiological conditions. Here, we use a noninvasive imaging …

Adenosine (Ado) accumulates in tissues under metabolic stress. On myocardial cells, the
nucleoside interacts with various receptor subtypes (A1, A3, and probably A2A and A2B) …

Annually increasing incidence of cardiac-related disorders and cardiac tissue's minimal
regenerative capacity have motivated the researchers to explore effective therapeutic …

Nesfatin-1 is an anorexic nucleobindin-2 (NUCB2)-derived hypothalamic peptide. It controls
feeding behavior, water intake, and glucose homeostasis. If intracerebrally administered, it …

Myocardial ischemia is the leading cause of all cardiovascular deaths in North America.
Myocardial ischemia is accompanied by profound changes in metabolism including …

OBJECTIVES/BACKGROUND: Cardiac arrhythmias are a leading cause of death and
disability. Electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) is a noninvasive imaging modality that …

Ischemic preconditioning is a powerful infarct-sparing intervention. Intensive investigations
have revealed many of the signaling steps used to elicit this protection. One of the steps …
