Journal ArticleDOI

Wnt antagonism initiates cardiogenesis in Xenopus laevis

TL;DR: It is reported that the Wnt antagonists Dkk-1 and Crescent can induce heart formation in explants of ventral marginal zone mesoderm, and analysis of Wnt proteins expressed during gastrulation revealed that Wnt3A and Wnt8, but not Wnt5A or Wnt11, inhibited endogenous heart induction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Asymmetries in H+/K+-ATPase and cell membrane potentials comprise a very early step in left-right patterning

TL;DR: LR asymmetry determination depends on a very early differential ion flux created by H+/K+-ATPase activity, which randomized the sided pattern of asymmetrically expressed genes and induced organ heterotaxia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of miR-25 improves cardiac contractility in the failing heart

TL;DR: High-throughput functional screening of the human microRNAome reveals that increased expression of endogenous miR-25 contributes to declining cardiac function during heart failure and suggests that it might be targeted therapeutically to restore function.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-throughput screening of tyrosine kinase inhibitor cardiotoxicity with human induced pluripotent stem cells

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs), generated from 11 healthy individuals and 2 patients receiving cancer treatment, to screen U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved TKIs for cardiotoxicities by measuring alterations in Cardiomyocyte viability, contractility, electrophysiology, calcium handling, and signaling.
