Programming and reprogramming a human heart cell.
The latest discoveries and advanced knowledge in the fields of stem cell biology and developmental cardiology hold great promise for cardiac regenerative medicine, enabling researchers to design novel therapeutic tools and approaches to regenerate cardiac muscle for diseased hearts. However, progress in this arena has been hampered by a lack of reproducible and convincing evidence, which at bes...
متن کاملHeart regeneration: a tale of cell reprogramming.
Heart failure is one of the main health problems worldwide, and the urgent medical needs relating to it have positioned cardiovascular research as one of the most actively evolving fields in regenerative medicine. Many different strategies aiming to revert, palliate, or ameliorate the deleterious effects of heart failure have been intensively pursued, and excellent reviews on the topic exist. 1...
متن کاملMicroRNAs in the human heart: a clue to fetal gene reprogramming in heart failure.
BACKGROUND Chronic heart failure is characterized by left ventricular remodeling and reactivation of a fetal gene program; the underlying mechanisms are only partly understood. Here we provide evidence that cardiac microRNAs, recently discovered key regulators of gene expression, contribute to the transcriptional changes observed in heart failure. METHODS AND RESULTS Cardiac transcriptome ana...
متن کاملOn the programming and reprogramming of actions.
Actions are often selected in the context of ongoing movement plans. Most studies of action selection have overlooked this fact, implicitly assuming that the motor system is passive prior to presentation of instructions triggering movement selection. Other studies addressed action planning in the context of an already present motor plan, but focused mostly on inhibition of a prepotent response ...
متن کاملCellular Programming and Reprogramming: Sculpting Cell Fate for the Production of Dopamine Neurons for Cell Therapy
Pluripotent stem cells are regarded as a promising cell source to obtain human dopamine neurons in sufficient amounts and purity for cell replacement therapy. Importantly, the success of clinical applications depends on our ability to steer pluripotent stem cells towards the right neuronal identity. In Parkinson disease, the loss of dopamine neurons is more pronounced in the ventrolateral popul...
