Novel Mechanisms Underlying Diabetes-Induced Atrial Fibrillation
Maria, Zahra (2016-07-01)Diabetes results from a defect in insulin production (type-1) or action (type-2) causing dysfunctional glucose uptake. Diabetic patients are predisposed to cardiac complications such as atrial fibrillation (AF). The heart ... -
Placental Growth Factor Regulation by Shear Stress and Iron Metabolism in Endothelial Cells
Zhai, Bo (2018-12-01)Arteriogenesis is the complex process of outward enlargement of small arteries and arterioles, also known as the collaterals. Arteriogenesis involves cell proliferation and vasculature remodeling and it is induced by ... -
Regulation of placental growth factor by fluid shear stress in the vessel wall
Rashdan, Nabil Aiman (2015-07)Arteriogenesis is the process by which mature arteries form from collateral arterioles after upstream arterial stenosis or occlusion. During collateral remodeling, monocytes are recruited to the vessel wall. Placental ... -
Responses of vascular cells to shear stress and diabetes-associated metabolic dysfunction
Rouf, Farzana (2016-12)Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for 30% of all deaths. Coronary artery disease (CAD - narrowing of arteries), most common type of CVD, results in altered shear stress that ...
