Thyroid hormones have a central role in cardiovascular homeostasis. In myocardium, these
hormones stimulate both diastolic myocardial relaxation and systolic myocardial contraction …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that act as post-transcriptional gene
regulators. They are involved in the pathogenesis of different disorders including heart …

Membrane nanotubes (MNTs) act as “highways” between cells to facilitate the transfer of
multiple signals and play an important role in many diseases. Our previous work reported on …

Heart failure (HF) is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and energy metabolism
impairment. MicroRNAs are implicated in the development of heart failure. However, the …

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) represents a major threat for human health. The available
preventive and treatment interventions are insufficient to revert the underlying pathological …

Musk, the dried secretion from the preputial follicles of the male musk deer (genus
Moschus), possesses various pharmacological activities and has been used extensively in …

Ischemic post-conditioning (iPoCo) by coronary re-occlusion/reperfusion during immediate
reperfusion after prolonged myocardial ischemia reduces infarct size. Mechanical …

Sepsis is a dysregulated host response to infection that results in life-threatening organ
dysfunction. Virtually every body system can be affected by this syndrome to greater or …

Members of the fetal-gene-program may act as regulatory components to impede
deleterious events occurring with cardiac remodeling, and constitute potential novel …

In the present study, the modulatory effect of ursolic acid (UA) on cardiac fibrosis and
