Age-dependent hypertension and vascular remodeling in dahl-s rats are associated with elevated levels of marinobufagenin and cognitive decline

TL;DR: Cognitive deficit in aged hypertensive Dahl-S is limited to hippocampal-dependent spatial memory, and development of age-dependent hypertension and aortic wall remodeling, occurred in context with an increase in MBG, and suggested a possible implication of MBG in these declines.

What makes the sinoatrial node tick? A question not for the faint of heart

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors discuss recent discoveries that contextualize the coupled-clock system, first described in isolated sinoatrial node cells, into the complex world of SAN tissue: heterogeneous local Ca2+ releases, generated within SAN pacemaker cells and regulated by the other cell types within the SAN cytoarchitecture, variably co-localize and synchronize to give rise to relatively rhythmic impulses that emanate from the SAN to excite the heart.
