TGF-β Signalling Drives Chemotaxis of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes in Response to MI Stimulus

This study shows hiPSC-CMs migrate toward MI tissue, driven by TGF-β signalling, and identifies TGF-β as a key mediator of this chemotactic response.

Functional characterization of cardiac fibroblasts in response to hemodynamic alteration

This study investigates how cardiac fibroblasts respond to hemodynamic changes, identifying Selenbp1 as a key regulator of fibroblast differentiation and collagen turnover in cardiac fibrosis.

Nrg1/ErbB Signaling-Mediated Regulation of Fibrosis After Myocardial Infarction

This study investigates how M2-like macrophages regulate post-MI fibrosis through Nrg1/ErbB signaling, showing it suppresses fibroblast senescence and apoptosis.

Sox17 expression in endocardium precursor cells regulates heart development in mice

This study shows that Sox17 expression in cardiac progenitor cells biases their fate toward the endocardium and regulates myocardium development through NOTCH signaling in mice.

Differentiation-dependent telomeric long non-coding transcription in a model of skeletal myogenesis

This study examines telomerase activity and telomeric lncRNA expression during skeletal myogenesis in mice, finding no reduction in telomerase activity despite decreased TERRA expression.
