The real estate of cardiac signaling: location, location, location.
D etermining how cells distinguish between adaptive and maladaptive signals when they appear to share the same molecular pathways has been a vexing biological problem. The ability to identify distinctive features of a pathophysiological response compared with a physiological response would allow for the rational design of approaches to eliminate or diminish undesirable consequences of pathophys...

While sympathetic stimulation of the heart produces chronotropic, inotropic, and lusitropic effects, increased frequency alone causes a positive forcefrequency relationship (FFR) and frequency-dependent acceleration of relaxation (FDAR).1 That is, contraction amplitude and relaxation rate are increased with increasing frequency in most species (including humans). The key mechanism involved in t...

The capsule endoscopic localization study by Scott et al.1 in this current issue of VHJOE has once again emphasized the propensity of small bowel vascular lesions, thought to be involved in obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, to congregate within the proximal landscape of the midgut. The principal aim of the study was to examine the distribution of lesions found during capsule endoscopy within t...
متن کاملEndothelial nitric oxide synthase and cardiac remodelling: location, location, location?
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in response to an increased systolic load is a compensatory mechanism that aims to restore LV pump function to normal levels. Clinically, chronic systolic LV overload most commonly results from myocardial infarction (MI), or chronic pressure overload, including hypertension and aortic stenosis. Despite the apparent appropriateness of the hypertrophy process, L...

Intra-abdominal fat is an established risk factor for the metabolic syndrome. In this issue of Cell Metabolism, Tran et al. (2008) test the cell-autonomous and location-related properties of transplanted intra-abdominal and subcutaneous fat depots. While subcutaneous fat seems to confer metabolic benefits, species differences in adipose biology justify caution in interpreting the results.
