Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with structural, electrical, and contractile remodeling of
the atria. Development and progression of atrial fibrosis is the hallmark of structural …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of posttranscriptional regulators that have recently
introduced an additional level of intricacy to our understanding of gene regulation. There are …

Cardiac progenitor cells derived from adult heart have emerged as one of the most
promising stem cell types for cardiac protection and repair. Exosomes are known to mediate …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a recently discovered family of endogenous, noncoding RNA
molecules approximately 22 nt in length. miRNAs modulate gene expression post …

Background: The exposome encompasses all life-course environmental exposures from the
prenatal period onward that influence health. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are interesting entities …

Cardiovascular disease is the predominant cause of human morbidity and mortality in
developed countries. Thus, extraordinary effort has been devoted to determining the …

We demonstrate the first use of smartphone spectrophotometry for readout of fluorescence-
based biological assays. We evaluated the smartphone fluorimeter in the context of a …

Though experimental, stem cell transplantation has the potential to improve the condition of
the heart after myocardial infarction. It does so by reducing infarct size and inducing repair of …

Abstract MicroRNA-21 (miR-21) is a highly expressed microRNA (miRNA) in cardiovascular
system. Recent studies have revealed that its expression is deregulated in heart and …

Several recent reports have suggested that microRNAs (miRNAs) might play critical roles in
acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, the miRNA expression signature in the early …
