Journal ArticleDOI

Epicardial retinoid X receptor is required for myocardial growth and coronary artery formation

TL;DR: It is shown that RXR α signaling in the epicardium is required for proper cardiac morphogenesis and an additional phenotype of defective coronary arteriogenesis associated with RXRα deficiency is detected and a retinoid-dependent Wnt signaling pathway that cooperates in epicardial epithelial-to-mesenchymal transformation is identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

APJ acts as a dual receptor in cardiac hypertrophy

TL;DR: It is reported that genetic loss of APJ, a G-protein-coupled receptor, confers resistance to chronic pressure overload by markedly reducing myocardial hypertrophy and heart failure, and indicates that APJ is a bifunctional receptor for both mechanical stretch and the endogenous peptide apelin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid changes in histone deacetylases and inflammatory gene expression in expert meditators

TL;DR: The regulation of HDACs and inflammatory pathways may represent some of the mechanisms underlying the therapeutic potential of mindfulness-based interventions and set the foundation for future studies to further assess meditation strategies for the treatment of chronic inflammatory conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitors block differentiation of skeletal muscle cells.

TL;DR: Data indicate that whereas phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase is not indispensable for cell proliferation or in the initial events of myoblast differentiation, it appears to be essential for terminal differentiation of muscle cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Histone demethylase LSD1 regulates adipogenesis

TL;DR: The findings indicate that the histone methylation status of adipogenic genes as well as the expression and function of the proteins involved in its maintenance play a crucial role in adipogenesis.
