Surface electrode arrays are mainly fabricated from rigid or elastic materials, and precisely
manipulated ductile metal films, which offer limited stretchability. However, the living tissues …

Cardiomyocyte proliferation stops at birth when the heart is no longer exposed to maternal
blood and, likewise, to regulatory T cells (Tregs) that are expanded to promote maternal …

Aims Cardiac remodelling is the process by which the heart adapts to its environment.
Mechanical load is a major driver of remodelling. Cardiac tissue culture has been frequently …

When the heart is subjected to an increased workload, mechanical stretch together with
neurohumoral stimuli activate the “fetal gene program” and induce cardiac hypertrophy to …

The heart is comprised of cardiac cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) which function
together to pump blood throughout the body, provide organs with nutrients and oxygen, and …

The pathologic cardiac remodeling has been widely documented; however, the
physiological cardiac remodeling induced by pregnancy and its reversion in postpartum are …

To explore how cardiac regeneration and cell turnover adapts to disease, different forms of
stress were studied for their effects on the cardiac progenitor cell markers c-Kit and Isl1, the …

Aim: To investigate the difference between physiological and pathological cardiac
remodelling induced, respectively, by pregnancy and angiotensin (Ang) II, and to test the …

Background There is an increased risk of heart failure and pulmonary edema in pregnancies
complicated by hypertensive disorders. However, in a previous study we found that …

Background and objectives: Cardiac remodeling in pregnancy and postpartum is poorly
understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in cardiac fibrosis (pericardial …
