Physiology, metabolism and redox mechanisms in chronic cardiac volume overload
(2016-11-04)Chronic haemodynamic stress in the heart, induced by volume or pressure overload, contributes to cardiac dysfunction and heart failure and is associated with several human cardiovascular diseases (e.g. valvular heart ... -
An integrated approach using patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells and protein biochemistry to study Vici syndrome associated cardiomyopathy
(2016-10-17)Vici syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive inherited multisystem disorder caused by mutations in EPG5. More than 80% of the patients with Vici syndrome suffer from cardiomyopathy. In this study, the induced pluripotent ... -
Control of cardiogenesis and homeostasis by cardiac fibroblasts
(2016-07-12)The mammalian heart is a complex multicellular organ which undergoes many critical changes during development and under pathological conditions. Cardiac fibroblasts (cFBs) represent the predominant non-myocyte population ... -
Characterization of cardiac progenitor cell activity in engineered heart muscle
(2016-06-21)The heart has been considered a post-mitotic organ incapable of regeneration upon injury. Recent findings suggest that the heart contains cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) with the potential to give rise to cardiovascular ... -
Molecular determinants for the outcome in gemcitabine-treated pancreatic cancer
(2015-12-07)Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a mostly lethal disease which represents the fourth common cause of all deaths related to cancer. The nucleoside analogue gemcitabine constitutes a currently widely used treatment ... -
Cardiac and fibroblastic properties after HIF-1α stabilization
(2015-06-01)The cellular oxygen sensing prolyl-4-hydroxylase domain proteins (PHDs) are essential regulators of the α-subunit of hypoxia-inducible transcription factors (HIFs) which are known to induce a variety of genes affecting ... -
Genetic polymorphisms in genes regulating renal ion excretion and diuretic drug effects
(2014-07-17)Regulation of human salt and fluid homeostasis is of basic biological importance. Kidney functions allow surviving under a wide variety of conditions with high or low salt diets and with high or low intake of fluids, even ... -
Prolyl-4-hydroxylase domain 3 (PHD3) is a critical terminator for cell survival of macrophages under stress conditions
(2014-07-14)On molecular level, cells sense changes in oxygen availability through the prolyl-4-hydroxylase domain enzymes (PHDs), which in turn regulate the protein stability of the α-subunit of the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible ...
