Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes Promote Endogenous Repair Mechanisms and Enhance Cardiac Function Following Myocardial Infarction

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that mouse ESC-derived exosomes (mES Ex) possess ability to augment function in infarcted hearts and provide a novel cell-free system that uses the immense regenerative power of ES cells while avoiding the risks associated with direct ES or ES-derived cell transplantation and risk of teratomas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cellular Basis of Abnormal Calcium Transients of Failing Human Ventricular Myocytes

TL;DR: Changes in the respective roles of the L-type Ca2+ current, SR Ca 2+ uptake, storage and release, Ca2+, transport via the Na+-Ca2+ exchanger (NCX), and Ca2- buffering in the altered Ca2 + transients of failing human ventricular myocytes can explain the defective Ca2+.
Journal ArticleDOI

Myocyte Recovery After Mechanical Circulatory Support in Humans With End-Stage Heart Failure

TL;DR: The results of the study strongly support the idea that circulatory support with an LVAD improves myocyte contractile properties and increases beta-adrenergic responsiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Animal Models of Heart Failure A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association

TL;DR: The distinctive clinical features of the major causes of HF in humans are defined and those distinctive pathological features ofHF in humans that should be present in an animal model being used to identify fundamental causes ofHF or to test preventative or reparative therapies that could reduce HF morbidity and mortality are recommended.
