The Dynamic Duo: Niche/Stem Cell Interdependency
Most tissues in our bodies undergo constant cellular turnover. This process requires a dynamic balance between cell production and elimination. Stem cells have been shown in many of these tissues to be the major source of new cells. However, despite the tremendous advances made, it still remains unclear how stem cell behavior and activity are regulated in vivo. Furthermore, we lack basic unders...
متن کاملNMR-based plasma metabolic profiling in patients with unstable angina
Objective(s): Unstable angina (UA) is a form of the acute coronary syndrome (ACS) that affects more than a third of the population before age 70. Due to the limitations of diagnostic tests, appropriate identification of UA is difficult. In this study, we proceeded to investigate metabolite profiling in UA patients compared with controls to determine potential candidate...
متن کاملUnstable angina: the breakthrough
It is widely perceived that unstable angina is a critical phase of coronary heart disease. The risk of acute myocardial infarction or death in these patients is high: up to 5% during hospitalization, 20% within 30 days, and 25% in 6 months. Medical and invasive treatment options for these patients have been rather discouraging, with two reasons responsible for this unsatisfactory state: first, ...
متن کاملUnstable angina.
Unstable angina has only been recognized as a distinct entity for about 50 years. The term is used to describe a symptom complex that is neither stable angina pectoris nor acute myocardial infarction. There are a number of other terms used to describe essentially the same symptom complex; these include pre-infarction angina, crescendo angina, intermediate coronary syndrome and threatening infar...
متن کاملUnstable Angina
Identification of a characteristic morphology of a coronary stenosis likely to result in myocardial infarction would facilitate the prospective evaluation of infarct prevention strategies and identification of high-risk patients. We postulated that coronary lesions associated with recent myocardial infarction or unstable angina would have an angiographic morphology suggesting disruption of an a...
