Prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) was first described over 30 years ago (Rahimtoola, 1978) for aortic valve replacement: when the in vivo effective orifice area (EOA) of the prosthetic valve is less than that of the native, non-diseased, human valve. Extensive documentation on the role of PPM after aortic valve replacement (AVR) particularly addresses left ventricular mass regression and patien...

Stromal interaction molecules (STIMs) STIM1 and STIM2 in the ER function as luminal Ca sensors that activate the calcium release–activated calcium (CRAC) channels CRACM1/2/3 (Orai1/2/3) in the plasma membrane after store depletion and give rise to the store-operated CRAC current (ICRAC) (Liou et al., 2005; Roos et al., 2005; Zhang et al., 2005; Feske et al., 2006; Spassova et al., 2006; Vig et ...

Recent years have seen progress in isolation and expansion of mesenchymal cells (MSCs) from human umbilical cord tissue, namely the Wharton’s jelly. Situated between the subamnion and the perivascular zone that surrounds the blood vessels (Troyer & Weiss, 2008), Wharton’s jelly is a matrix of mucous connective tissue, composed of fibroblast-like stromal cells, collagen fibers and proteoglycans,...

that act as posttranscriptional repressors by binding to the 3′UTR of target mRNAs (Lee et al. 1993; Reinhart et al. 2000; Bartel 2004; Kloosterman and Plasterk 2006). In animals, mature miRNAs are generated from a primary transcript (pri-miRNA) through sequential cleavage by nucleases belonging to the RNAse III family. Initially, Drosha cleaves the pri-miRNA and excises a stem-loop precursor (...
