Macrophages play critical roles in homeostatic maintenance of the myocardium under
normal conditions and in tissue repair after injury. In the steady-state heart, resident cardiac …

The mammalian heart contains a population of resident macrophages that expands in
response to myocardial infarction and hemodynamic stress. This expansion occurs likely …

Over the past three decades, numerous studies have shown a strong connection between
matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) levels and myocardial infarction (MI) mortality and left …

The heart is composed of several cell types including cardiomyocytes, cardiac fibroblasts,
endothelial, and smooth muscle cells. In addition to these major cell types, cardiac …

More and more evidences show that macrophages can induce both pro-tumor and anti-
tumor effects. The study on genetically engineered macrophages to kill tumor cells has …

Cloud computing is a style of computing in which dynamically scalable and other virtualized
resources are provided as a service over the Internet. The energy consumption and …

The factors regulating cellular identity are critical for understanding the transition from health
to disease and responses to therapies. Recent literature suggests that autophagy …

The anti-tumour and pro-tumour roles of Th1/Th2 immune cells and M1/M2 macrophages
have been documented by numerous experimental studies. However, it is still unknown how …

Wound healing and fibrosis following myocardial infarction (MI) is a dynamic process
involving many cell types, extracellular matrix (ECM), and inflammatory cues. As both …
