The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system plays crucial roles in cardiovascular physiology
and pathophysiology. However, many of the signaling mechanisms have been unclear. The …

The ECM (extracellular matrix) network plays a crucial role in cardiac homeostasis, not only
by providing structural support, but also by facilitating force transmission, and by transducing …

Recent studies have shown that anaerobic co-digestion (AnCoD) is superior to conventional
anaerobic digestion (AD). The benefits of enhanced bioenergy production and solids …

The cardiac extracellular matrix (ECM) not only provides mechanical support, but also
transduces essential molecular signals in health and disease. Following myocardial …

Excessive scar formation caused by myofibroblast aggregations is of great clinical
importance during skin wound healing. Studies have shown that mesenchymal stem cells …

For the past two decades since their discovery, scientists have linked microRNAs (miRNAs)
to posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression in critical cardiac physiological and …

Research showing that microRNAs (miRNAs) are versatile regulators of gene expression
has instigated tremendous interest in cardiovascular research. The overwhelming majority of …

Gliomas are primary, diffusely infiltrating brain tumors. Microglia are innate immune cells in
the CNS and make up a substantial portion of the tumor mass. Glioma cells shape their …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are increasingly recognized to play important roles in cardiovascular
diseases, including heart failure. These small, non‐coding RNAs have been identified in …

Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death worldwide and there is a pressing need
for new therapeutic strategies to treat such conditions. The risk of developing cardiovascular …
