MicroRNA205: A Key Regulator of Cardiomyocyte Transition from Proliferative to Hypertrophic Growth in the Neonatal Heart
( Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) , 2024 , Article)The mammalian myocardium grows rapidly during early development due to cardiomyocyte proliferation, which later transitions to cell hypertrophy to sustain the heart’s postnatal growth. Although this cell transition in the ... -
Human-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) as a Platform for Modeling Arrhythmias
( Springer Nature , 2022 , Book chapter)Cardiac arrhythmias can arise due to a host of both genetic and acquired factors. Specifically, the genetic basis of arrhythmogenesis is not fully understood due to the lack of robust models that reliably recapitulate human ... -
Why Craniofacial Surgeons/Researchers Need to be Aware of Native American Myopathy?
( Georg Thieme Verlag , 2024 , Article Review)Congenital myopathy type 13 (CMYO13), also known as Native American myopathy, is a rare muscle disease characterized by early-onset hypotonia, muscle weakness, delayed motor milestones, and susceptibility to malignant ... -
