(
MDPI
, 2019 , Article)
Dietary intake of natural antioxidants is thought to impart protection against oxidative-associated cardiovascular diseases. Despite many in vivo studies and clinical trials, this issue has not been conclusively resolved. ...
Viruses and Autoimmunity: A Review on the Potential Interaction and Molecular Mechanisms.
(
MDPI
, 2019 , Article)
For a long time, viruses have been shown to modify the clinical picture of several autoimmune diseases, including type 1 diabetes (T1D), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Sjögren's syndrome ...
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. ...
Frizzled 4 regulates ventral blood vessel remodeling in the zebrafish retina
(
Wiley
, 2019 , Article)
Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by a lack of blood vessel growth to the periphery of the retina with secondary fibrovascular proliferation at the vascular-avascular ...
