It is well known that the protective capacity of the collateral circulation falls short in many individuals with ischemic disease of the heart, brain, and lower extremities. In the past 15 years, opportunities created by molecular and genetic tools,…

INTRODUCTION: Oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES) is a non-invasive cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) measurement based on oxygen uptake (V&c.dotab;O(2) ) and minute ventilation (V&c.dotab;(E) ) and is a marker of the efficiency of oxygen…

Transplantation of adult stem cells into myocardial tissue after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), has been shown to improve tissue recovery and prevent progression to ischemic cardiomyopathy. Studies suggest that the effects of mesenchymal stem…

Nuclear hormone receptors regulate diverse metabolic pathways and the orphan nuclear receptor LRH-1 (also known as NR5A2) regulates bile acid biosynthesis. Structural studies have identified phospholipids as potential LRH-1 ligands, but their…

Introduction: Coronary microvascular dysfunction is prevalent among diabetics and intersects with deficits in endothelial-dependent vasodilation. These deficits occur early in the progression of the disease, but the mechanisms remain incompletely…

BACKGROUND: Activation of hematopoietic stem cells [HSCs, lineage(lin)(-) stem cell growth factor receptor(c-kit)(+) stem cell antigen-1(Sca-1)(+) or LKS cells in mice], is critical for initiating the granulopoietic response. This study determined …

Background: Activation of hematopoietic stem cells [HSCs, lineage(lin) - stem cell growth factor receptor (c-kit) + stem cell antigen-1(Sca-1) + , or LKS cells in mice] is critical for initiating the granulopoietic response. This study determined the…

Granulocytes are the major type of phagocytes constituting the front line of innate immune defense against bacterial infection. In adults, granulocytes are derived from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. Alcohol is the most frequently…

Alcohol impairs activation of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) during the granulopoietic response to serious bacterial infection. This study investigated the involvement of guanylate‐binding protein 7 (GBP7) in the regulation of HSPC…

Ischemic heart disease is still the leading cause of death even with the advancement of pharmaceutical therapies and surgical procedures. Early vascularization in the ischemic heart is critical for a better outcome. Although stem cell therapy has…

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) refers to a cluster of anomalies including type 2 diabetes, obesity, insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. Patients with MetS are 1.5 times more likely to develop late‐onset Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), with impaired glucose…

The ability of retroviruses (RVs) to cause neurodegeneration is critically dependent upon two activities of the envelope protein (Env). First, Env facilitates viral genome delivery to CNS target cells through receptor binding and membrane fusion.…
