Activation and Contraction of Human “Vascular” Smooth Muscle Cells Grown From Circulating Blood Progenitors
( Frontiers Media , 2021 , Article)Blood outgrowth smooth muscle cells (BO-SMCs) offer the means to study vascular cells without the requirement for surgery providing opportunities for drug discovery, tissue engineering, and personalized medicine. However, ... -
Arrhythmogenic calmodulin E105A mutation alters cardiac RyR2 regulation leading to cardiac dysfunction in zebrafish
( Wiley , 2019 , Article)Calmodulin (CaM) is a universal calcium (Ca )-binding messenger that regulates many vital cellular events. In cardiac muscle, CaM associates with ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2) and regulates excitation-contraction coupling. ... -
Defective Interaction of Cam with RyR2 Cam-Binding Pocket Might Contribute to Arrhythmogenic Cardiac Disease
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)Ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2) is a large transmembrane calcium (Ca2+) release channel that mediates Ca2 release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum to activate cardiac muscle contraction. Calmodulin (CaM) regulation of RyR2 is ... -
Differences in platelet-rich plasma composition influence bone healing
( John Wiley and Sons Inc , 2021 , Article)Aim: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous blood-derived material that has been used to enhance bone regeneration. Clinical studies, however, reported inconsistent outcomes. This study aimed to assess the effect of ... -
Editorial: The role of calcium signaling in gametogenesis and early embryogenesis
( Frontiers Media , 2022 , Other)Calcium homeostasis exerts a profound role in determining the quality of gametogenesis, the resultant efficacy of fertilisation and ultimately the competency of embryogenesis. Perhaps no other single ion plays such a ... -
Experimental measurements and modelling of viscosity and density of calcium and potassium chlorides ternary solutions
( Nature Research , 2020 , Article)Measured viscosity and density data for ternary aqueous solutions of CaCl2 and KCl are presented at temperatures between 293 and 323�K with 5�K increment. A modified Jones?Dole was introduced by adding extra terms and ... -
Frequency of Parathyroid Hormone Assessment in the Evaluation of Hypercalcemia. A Comparison Between Patients With and Without a History of Malignancy in a 20-year Dataset of 20,954 Patients
( SAGE Publications Ltd , 2021 , Article)Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether a prior diagnosis of malignancy affected the assessment of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in hypercalcemic patients and whether the rate of this assessment changed ... -
Hybrid coagulation-NF membrane processes for brackish water treatment: Effect of pH and salt/calcium concentration
( Elsevier B.V. , 2016 , Article)In order to reduce membrane fouling propensity, membrane technologies in water treatment and desalination processes have been coupled with coagulation process. However, the fouling issues still persisted. It is believed ... -
Impaired Binding to Junctophilin-2 and Nanostructural Alteration in CPVT Mutation
( American Heart Association , 2021 , Article)RATIONALE: Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia is a rare disease, manifested by syncope or sudden death in children or young adults under stress conditions. Mutations in the Ca2+ release channel/type 2 ... -
The Joint Effects of Diet and Dietary Supplements in Relation to Obesity and Cardiovascular Disease over a 10-Year Follow-Up: A Longitudinal Study of 69,990 Participants in Australia.
( MDPI , 2021 , Article)It is unknown whether a healthy diet or unhealthy diet combined with specific supplements may jointly contribute to incidence of obesity and cardiovascular disease (CVD). We included 69,990 participants from the 45 and Up ... -
Multiscale structural evolution of citrate-triggered intrafibrillar and interfibrillar mineralization in dense collagen gels
( Academic Press Inc. , 2020 , Article)The mineralized extracellular matrix of bone is an organic?inorganic nanocomposite consisting primarily of carbonated hydroxyapatite, fibrous type I collagen, noncollagenous proteins, proteoglycans, and diverse biomolecules ... -
Nutritional quality and health risk of pepper fruit as affected by magnesium fertilization.
( wiley , 2020 , Article)Magnesium (Mg) fertilization is a promising practice to improve vegetable yield. However, its impacts on vegetable quality and human health have not been examined. Thus, a field experiment was conducted to investigate the ...
