Engineering Disease Models for Cardiac and Skeletal Muscle Tissues
Biomedical research aims to gain deeper insights into the mechanisms of human pathophysiology to develop improved therapies and diagnostics. Despite significant advances made in the understanding and treatment of human ... -
Role of PARP16 in Cardiac Remodeling
Role of PARP16 in cardiac remodeling Cardiac remodeling, a complex process involving alterations in myocardial structure and function, is a major contributor to heart failure. While physiological remodeling supports cardiac ... -
Role of Sirt2 in Stress-induced Muscle Atrophy
Skeletal muscle is one of the essential organs in our body, responsible for various functions such as locomotion, transport, protein storage, and thermoregulation. Under certain pathological conditions, there is a reduction ... -
Role of SIRT6 in Myofibroblast Cell Death
(2018-01-10)Cardiovascular diseases are one of the leading causes of mortality. A common denominator across most of the cardiovascular diseases like diabetic cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, myocardial infarction and dilated ... -
Role of SIRT6 in the Regulation of Glucose Metabolism and Fatty Acid Uptake in Heart
The adult heart heavily relies on fatty acid for most of its energy supplies. The heart derives most of the fatty acid from circulation. Hence, fatty acid uptake forms a crucial step in cardiac metabolism. Studies have ... -
Role of Sirtuin 2 in the development of tissue fibrosis
Wound healing is a crucial physiological process required for the healthy lifespan of an organism. Dysregulation in the process of wound healing leads to the production of excess extracellular matrix leading to fibrosis. ... -
Role of Sirtuin6 in the maintenance of cardiac lysosomal homeostasis
The response to cardiac stress can be divided into two phases- an initial adaptive compensatory phase followed by a maladaptive decompensatory phase. Protein homeostasis in cardiomyocytes has been observed to behave ... -
Transcriptional Regulation of Fatty Acid Transport by Sirtuin 2
The heart is a highly dynamic organ and under normal physiological conditions, it is heavily dependent on fatty acid oxidation to meet its energy requirements (Abumrad and Goldberg 2016). Fatty acid transport is a crucial ... -
Understanding the Role of SIRT2 in Cardiac Hypertrophy, Cell Death and Glucose Homeostasis
Over the last century the major causes of human deaths and ailments has shifted from acute infectious diseases to chronic aging related disorders like cancer and type-2 diabetes. The aging process is a universal property ...
