microRNA-210 enhances cell survival and paracrine potential for cardiac cell therapy while targeting mitophagy.

Rita Alonaizan, Ujang Purnama, Sophia Malandraki-Miller, Mala Gunadasa-Rohling, Andrew Lewis, Nicola Smart, Carolyn A. Carr

This study shows that miR-210 improves cardiac progenitor cell survival and paracrine function by inhibiting apoptosis and mitophagy, and enhancing mitochondrial biogenesis and growth factor secretion.

The extracellular matrix protein agrin is essential for epicardial epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition during heart development

Xin Sun, Sophia Malandraki-Miller, Tahnee L. Kennedy, Elad Bassat, Konstantinos Klaourakis, Jia Zhao, Elisabetta Gamen, Joaquim Miguel Vieira, Eldad Tzahor, Paul Richard Riley

This study identifies agrin as a critical regulator of epicardial EMT by localizing dystroglycan to the Golgi apparatus, ensuring ECM-cytoskeletal connectivity and mechanical integrity during heart development.
