MT 30 – GH (Lec) 4 years agoCardiomyocyte loss is a prevalent cause of heart failure since adult mammalian hearts have limited regenerative ability. Transplantation of cardiomyocytes is a straightforward method of human heart repair. The transplantation is often reliant on human pluripotent cells (hPSCs) as the cell source to generate cardiomyocytes. This is one of the key…[Read more]

MT 30 – GH (Lec) 4 years agoHi! I apologize for posting late due to chronic hives. Well, I hope everyone is well in the comfort of their own homes.
Nevertheless, I found an interesting article that has sparked interest in me.

The article, “The Aging Cardiovascular System: Understanding It at the Cellular and Clinical Levels” by Camici, Cañestro, Libby, Luscher, and Paneni (2017) highlights the need to understand how aging develops into cardiovascular disease. Thus, awareness is the first step toward coming up with strategies to face this challenge.
-
In this article, I found out that age-related conditions pose challenges to the clinical care of cardiovascular (CV) patients. Aging causes the hardening of the aorta due to increased levels of collagen and decreased elastin.
-
Moreover, increased oxidative stress and inflammation stimulate CV aging. Thus, the authors consider aspects of vascular repair, including autologous transplantation of bone marrow-derived stem cells in elderly patients.

Smelling has been an important sense that we make use of every single day. We smell scents and even food before we eat them. All thanks to the olfactory mucosa for giving us these privileges. The olfactory mucosa is the part of the nasal mucosa that carries the specialized sensory organ for the modality of smell.
