Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are the primary contractile component of blood vessels and can undergo phenotypic switching from a contractile to a synthetic phenotype in vascular diseases such…
Ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) are a leading cause of sudden cardiac death (SCD) following myocardial infarction (MI), with cardiac sympathetic hyperexcitability serving as a critical trigger. While…
Mitochondrial dysregulation promotes vascular destabilization through modulation of the phenotypic plasticity of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections…
Effective myocardial protection during cardiac surgery is essential, yet the differential metabolic stress of the left (LV) and right ventricles (RV) to ischemia–reperfusion remains poorly…
Cerebral dopamine neurotrophic factor (CDNF) has emerged as a key cytoprotective molecule, with well-documented neuroprotective effects in Parkinson's disease models and, more recently, demonstrated…
