Open AccessTorpor induces reversible tau hyperphosphorylation and accumulation in mice expressing human tau
Tau protein hyperphosphorylation and aggregation are key pathological events in neurodegenerative tauopathies such as Alzheimer’s disease. Interestingly, seasonal hibernators show extensive tau hyperphosphoryl...

Open AccessPlasma proteomic characterization of the development of acute kidney injury in early sepsis patients
Acute kidney injury (AKI) develops frequently in the course of patients with sepsis and strongly associates with in-hospital mortality. However, diagnosing AKI involves a considerable lag-time because it depen...

Open AccessThe (R)-enantiomer of the 6-chromanol derivate SUL-121 improves renal graft perfusion via antagonism of the α1-adrenoceptor
SUL-compounds are protectants from cold-induced ischemia and mitochondrial dysfunction. We discovered that adding SUL-121 to renal grafts during warm machine reperfusion elicits a rapid improvement in perfusio...

Hibernation and Torpor: Prospects for Human Spaceflight
Despite substantial technical progress in the last decades, long-distance human space travel beyond the Earth-Moon system still represents a challenge. Resources for sustaining humans in good physical and ment...

Open AccessThe Novel Compound Sul-121 Preserves Endothelial Function and Inhibits Progression of Kidney Damage in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Mice
Diabetic nephropathy is still a common complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and improvement of endothelial dysfunction (ED) and inhibition of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are considered important t...

Local gene therapy with indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase protects against development of transplant vasculopathy in chronic kidney transplant dysfunction
Chronic transplant dysfunction (CTD) is the primary cause of late allograft loss in kidney transplantation. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is involved in fetomaternal tolerance and IDO gene therapy inhibits...

Renal failure induces telomere shortening in the rat heart
BackgroundRenal failure aggravates pathological cardiac remodelling induced by myocardial infarction (MI). Cardiac remodelling is associated with telomere shortening, a marker for biological ageing. We investigat...

Ultrasound and microbubble-targeted delivery of therapeutic compounds
The molecular understanding of diseases has been accelerated in recent years, producing many new potential therapeutic targets. A noninvasive delivery system that can target specific anatomical sites would be ...

Rescue of arterial function by angiotensin-(1-7): towards improvement of endothelial function by drug-eluting stents
Purpose: To explore the hypothesis that stent placement decreases dilator function of various arteries outside the stented segment and that angiotensin- (1-7) improves this function, and to assess the contributio...

Cardiac overexpression of human VEGF165 by recombinant Semliki Forest virus leads to adverse effects in pressure-induced heart failure
Semliki Forest virus (SFV) is an efficient vector for cardiac gene delivery. The relatively short transgene expression induced by SFV seems appropriate for angiogenic gene therapy. We tested the effects of SFV...

Recombinant Semliki Forest virus as a vector system for fast and selective in vivo gene delivery into balloon-injured rat aorta
Previously, we demonstrated that recombinant Semliki Forest virus (SFV) vector rapidly and selectively transfers genes into cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC), leaving endothelial cells (EC) unaffect...

Molecular Mechanisms of Remodeling in Human Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia in humans. Most frequently, AF occurs in conjunction with other cardiovascular disease, such as hypertension, ischemic heart disease, va...

Female Rats are More Sensitive to the Neuromuscular Blocking Action of Rocuronium than Male Rats
Potency (1), being the result of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, and sensitivity (intrinsic potency) (2), which is based solely on pharmacodynamics, have been reported to differ for NMBAs between male a...

Regulation of Innervation-Related Properties of Cultured Skeletal Muscle Cells by Transmitter and Co-Transmitters
Long-term interruption of the neuromuscular transmission induces marked changes in properties of skeletal muscle cells. These reversible changes were recognized for the first time in surgically denervated musc...
