Cardiac function is controlled by the autonomic nervous system (ie, the sympathetic and the
parasympathetic nervous systems), which act via adrenoceptors and muscarinic …

The aim of this review is to provide basic information on the electrophysiological changes
during acute ischemia and reperfusion from the level of ion channels up to the level of …

In the mammalian heart, cardiac function is under the control of the sympathetic and
parasympathetic nervous system. All regions of the mammalian heart are innervated by …

Background—We recently reported that cardiomyocytes could be differentiated from bone
marrow mesenchymal stem cells in vitro by 5-azacytidine treatment. In native …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and
despite extensive research, only a few drugs are available for management of the disease …

In cardiac myocytes, as well as specialized conduction and pacemaker cells, agonist
binding to muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAchRs) results in the activation of several …

Studies with electron microscopy have shown that sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR)
andmitochondria locate close to each other in cardiac muscle cells. We investigated the …

Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that constantly undergo fission, fusion, and movement.
Increasing evidence indicates that these dynamic changes are intricately related to …

The presence of multiple muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) subtypes in the heart
and lung, combined with the lack of mAChR subtype‐selective ligands, have complicated …

In contrast to most peripheral tissues where multiple subtypes of muscarinic acetylcholine
receptor (mAChR) coexist, with each of them playing its part in the orchestra of …
