The role of CD44, hyaluronan and NHE1 in cardiac remodeling.
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
Cardiac remodeling, characterized by excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, predisposes the heart to failure if left unresolved. Understanding the signaling mechanisms involved in excessive extracellular matrix ...
Hemodynamic Studies for Analyzing the Teratogenic Effects of Drugs in the Zebrafish Embryo.
(
Humana Press
, 2018 , Book chapter)
Investigations of teratogenic effects of drugs generally involve testing the drug on animals and zebrafish embryo is a commonly used animal model for that purpose. In these studies, cardiovascular function of the animals ...

Oral cancer is a common malignancy in both men and women worldwide; this cancer is characterized by a marked propensity for invasion and spreading to local lymph nodes. On the other hand, Elaeagnus angustifolia (EA) is a ...
Characterization of Endothelial Cilia Distribution During Cerebral-Vascular Development in Zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(
American Heart Association
, 2018 , Article)
Objective—Endothelial cells (ECs) sense and respond to flow-induced mechanical stress, in part, via microtubule-based projections called primary cilia. However, many critical steps during vascular morphogenesis occur ...
Effect of cell-phone radiofrequency on angiogenesis and cell invasion in human head and neck cancer cells.
(
Wiley
, 2018 , Article)
Today, the cell phone is the most widespread technology globally. However, the outcome of cell-phone radiofrequency on head and neck cancer progression has not yet been explored. The chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) and human ...
