TL;DR: MSC transplantation improved cardiac function in a rat model of DCM, possibly through induction of myogenesis and angiogenesis, as well as by inhibition of myocardial fibrosis.

TL;DR: Very high-mobility organic transistors are fabricated with purified rubrene single crystals and high-density organosilane self-assembled monolayers in this paper, where the interface with minimized surface levels allows carriers to distribute deep into the crystals by more than a few molecular layers under weak gate electric fields, and the inner channel plays a significant part in the transfer performance.

TL;DR: Human ghrelin elicited a potent, long-lasting GH release and had beneficial hemodynamic effects via reducing cardiac afterload and increasing cardiac output without an increase in heart rate.

TL;DR: Results indicate that the present tissue Doppler imaging system accurately represents tissue velocity and can create two-dimensional color images that facilitate visual assessment of ventricular wall motion.

TL;DR: Results suggest that intravenous administration of MSCs improves cardiac function after acute myocardial infarction through enhancement of angiogenesis and myogenesis in the ischemic myocardium.
