Reperfusion is mandatory to salvage ischemic myocardium from infarction, but reperfusion
per se contributes to injury and ultimate infarct size. Therefore, cardioprotection beyond that …

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in western countries. Among
cardiovascular diseases, myocardial infarction represents a life-threatening condition …

Extracellular vesicles have shown good potential in disease treatments including ischemic
injury such as myocardial infarction. However, the efficient production of highly active …

In the infarcted heart, the damage‐associated molecular pattern proteins released by
necrotic cells trigger both myocardial and systemic inflammatory responses. Induction of …

During bone modeling, remodeling, and bone fracture repair, mesenchymal stem cells
(MSCs) differentiate into chondrocyte or osteoblast to comply bone formation and …

Cell therapy treatment of myocardial infarction (MI) is mediated, in part, by exosomes
secreted from transplanted cells. Thus, we compared the efficacy of treatment with a mixture …

The chemokine receptor CXCR4 and its ligand CXCL12 play an important homeostatic
function by mediating the homing of progenitor cells in the bone marrow and regulating their …

Background: Heart failure after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a major cause of
morbidity and mortality worldwide. We recently reported that activation of a transvalvular …

Collateral arteries are an uncommon vessel subtype that can provide alternate blood flow to
preserve tissue following vascular occlusion. Some patients with heart disease develop …

Chemokines are small molecules called “chemotactic cytokines” and regulate many
processes like leukocyte trafficking, homing of immune cells, maturation, cytoskeletal …
