FRACTALKINE DEPRESSES CARDIOMYOCYTE CONTRACTILITY.

Fractalkine depresses cardiomyocyte contractility.

Our laboratory reported that male mice with cardiomyocyte-selective knockout of the prostaglandin E2 EP4 receptor sub-type (EP4 KO) exhibit reduced cardiac function.Gene Pool Vacuum Hose array on left ventricles (LV) showed increased fractalkine, a chemokine implicated in heart failure.We therefore hypothesized that fractalkine is regulated by PGE2

A quality improvement initiative aimed at reducing service strain and improving physician wellness in internal medicine

Abstract Introduction Hospital strain has been shown to negatively impact physician wellness, educational experience, and patient care.To address rising service demands, a non-academic hospitalist service was implemented to reduce daily clinical teaching unit (CTU) census by approximately 30%.Secondary aims were to evaluate physician and trainee we

Evolution and Diversity of Biosynthetic Gene Clusters in Fusarium

Plant pathogenic fungi in the Fusarium genus cause severe damage to crops, resulting in great financial losses and health hazards.Specialized metabolites synthesized by these fungi are known to play key roles in the infection process, and to provide survival advantages inside and outside the host.However, systematic studies of the evolution of spec

Dark Respiration Measurement from Arabidopsis Shoots

Kratom Dark respiration refers to experimental measures of leaf respiration in the absence of light, done to distinguish it from the photorespiration that occurs during photosynthesis.Dark aerobic respiration reactions occur solely in the mitochondria and convert glucose molecules from cytoplasmatic glycolysis and oxygen into carbon dioxide and wat
