Endothelial Piezo1 channel mediates mechano-feedback control of brain blood flow
ErbB3 Governs Endothelial Dysfunction in Hypoxia-Induced Pulmonary Hypertension
BACKGROUND: Pulmonary hypertension, characterized by vascular remodeling, currently lacks curative therapeutic options. The dysfunction of pulmonary artery endothelial cells plays a pivotal role in the initiation and progression of pulmonary hyper…
Estimation of joint torque in dynamic activities using wearable A-mode ultrasound
Abstract The human body constantly experiences mechanical loading. However, quantifying internal loads within the musculoskeletal system remains challenging, especially during unconstrained dynamic activities. Conventional measures are constrained to laborato…
Evidence for a sustained cerebrovascular response following motor practice
Abstract Motor tasks have been extensively used to probe neuroplasticity and the changes in MRI signals are often associated with changes in performance. Changes in performance have been linked to alterations in resting-state fluctuations of BO…

Evolutionary novelties underlie sound production in baleen whales
Exercise Volume Can Modulate the Regenerative Response to Spinal Cord Injury in Mice
GLI1+ Cells Contribute to Vascular Remodeling in Pulmonary Hypertension
BACKGROUND: The precise origin of newly formed ACTA2+ (alpha smooth muscle actin-positive) cells appearing in nonmuscularized vessels in the context of pulmonary hypertension is still debatable although it is believed that they predominantly deriv…
Growth/differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) expression in the heart after myocardial infarction and cardioprotective effect of pre-ischemic rGDF15 administration
Abstract Growth/differentiation factor-15 (GDF15) is considered an unfavourable prognostic biomarker for cardiovascular disease in clinical data, while experimental studies suggest it has cardioprotective potential. This study focuses on the direct cardiac ef…
Heart rate variability parameters indicate altered autonomic tone in subjects with COVID-19
Abstract COVID-19 is associated with long-term cardiovascular complications. Heart Rate Variability (HRV), a measure of sympathetic (SNS) and parasympathetic (PNS) control, has been shown to predict COVID-19 outcomes and correlate with disease progression but…
