Federal Stimulus Grants Will Accelerate Health Research, Create JobsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Academic Health Center scientists, physicians, and research centers have attracted 128 grants totaling nearly $35 million in federal stimulus money (as of Nov. 10) since the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was approved in February 2009. This will result in a total economic impact of more than $105 million; according to the National Institutes of Health, $1 of research funding multiplies to more than $2 of goods and services in the economy.

Outcomes of medical therapy in renal artery stenosis similar to revascularisation with lower riskEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Source: NEJM Area: News A controlled trial found that patients with renal artery stenosis who were assigned to revascularisation in addition to medical therapy had no statistically significant benefits and were at risk of significant complications. Renal artery stenosis due to atherosclerosis is fairly common and has significant morbidity and mortality. Traditional treatment has concentrated on revascularisation, initially using open surgery and now more often using endovascular techniques. There is, however, limited evidence on the benefits of revascularisation, and this non-blinded trial was intended to inves...

This article reviews the evidence for clopidogrel, prasugrel and ticagrelor in acute coronary syndromes, and provides recommendations on their optimal use in clinical practice. The authors note that a lack of head to head trials of prasugrel and ticagrelor limits the comparison of these agents; nevertheless the data so far suggest that both are 'potent agents with improved ischemic benefits in comparison to clopidogrel. The improved benefit comes with the price of increased bleeding. As such, careful patient selection and balancing of benefit-risk is warranted to optimise their use in clinical practice.'

The Cellular Prion Protein Identifies Bipotential Cardiomyogenic Progenitors.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: PrP(+) cells from beating embryoid bodies (EBs) frequently included nascent Myhc(+) cardiomyocytes. Cultured PrP(+) cells further differentiated, giving rise to cardiac troponin I(+) definitive cardiomyocytes with either an atrial or a ventricular identity. These cells were electrophysiologically functional and able to survive in vivo after transplantation. Combining PrP with a second marker, platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR)alpha, enabled us to identify an earlier cardiomyogenic population from prebeating EBs, the PrP(+)PDGFRalpha(+) (PRa) cells. The Myhc(-) PRa cells expressed cardiac transcrip...

Cardioprotection by CaMKII-{delta}B Is Mediated by Phosphorylation of Heat Shock Factor 1 and Subsequent Expression of Inducible Heat Shock Protein 70.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: We conclude that cardiac CaMKII-deltaB and CaMKII-deltaC were inversely regulated in response to oxidative stress and IR injury, and that in contrast to CaMKII-deltaC, CaMKII-deltaB serves as a potent suppressor of cardiomyocyte apoptosis triggered by multiple death-inducing stimuli via phosphorylation of HSF1 and subsequent induction of iHSP70, marking both CaMKII-delta isoforms as promising therapeutic targets for the treatment of ischemic heart disease.

NADPH Oxidases: Functions and Pathologies in the Vasculature.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Reactive oxygen species are ubiquitous signaling molecules in biological systems. Four members of the NADPH oxidase (Nox) enzyme family are important sources of reactive oxygen species in the vasculature: Nox1, Nox2, Nox4, and Nox5. Signaling cascades triggered by stresses, hormones, vasoactive agents, and cytokines control the expression and activity of these enzymes and of their regulatory subunits, among which p22phox, p47phox, Noxa1, and p67phox are present in blood vessels. Vascular Nox enzymes are also regulated by Rac, ClC-3, Poldip2, and protein disulfide isomerase. Multiple Nox subtypes, simultaneously present...
