The influence of the level of physical activity and human development in the quality of life in survivors of stroke
(2011)
Background
The association between physical activity and quality of life in stroke survivors has not been analyzed within a framework related to the human development index. This study aimed to identify differences in ...
The “Goldilocks Zone� from a redox perspective—Adaptive vs. deleterious responses to oxidative stress in striated muscle
(2014-09)
Consequences of oxidative stress may be beneficial or detrimental in physiological systems. An organ system's position on the “hormetic curve” is governed by the source and temporality of reactive oxygen species (ROS) ...
Methods for Assessing Mitochondrial Function in Diabetes
(2013-04)
A growing body of research is investigating the potential contribution of mitochondrial function to the etiology of type 2 diabetes. Numerous in vitro, in situ, and in vivo methodologies are available to examine various ...
MicroRNA-431 regulates axon regeneration in mature sensory neurons by targeting the Wnt antagonist
(2013-10)
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs that function as key post-transcriptional regulators in neural development, brain function, and neurological diseases. Growing evidence indicates that miRNAs are also important ...
Muscle cell derived angiopoietin-1 contributes to both myogenesis and angiogenesis in the ischemic environment
(2015-05)
Recent strategies to treat peripheral arterial disease (PAD) have focused on stem cell based therapies, which are believed to result in local secretion of vascular growth factors. Little is known, however, about the role ...
Biomarkers of Disease and Treatment in Murine and Cynomolgus Models of Chronic Asthma
(2012)
Background
Biomarkers facilitate early detection of disease and measurement of therapeutic efficacy, both at clinical and experimental levels. Recent advances in analytics and disease models allow comprehensive screening ...
