Noninvasive quantification and optimization of acute cell retention by in vivo positron emission tomography after intramyocardial cardiac-derived stem cell delivery.

18 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to quantify acute myocardial retention of cardiac-derived stem cells (CDCs) and evaluate different delivery methods with positron emission tomography (PET). BACKGROUND: Success of stem cell transplantation for ... Read more...

Cortical firing and sleep homeostasis.

22 Sep 2009 The need to sleep grows with the duration of wakefulness and dissipates with time spent asleep, a process called sleep homeostasis. What are the consequences of staying awake on brain cells, and why is sleep needed? Surprisingly, we do not know ... Read more...

Loss of arterial and renal nitric oxide bioavailability in hypertensive rats with diabetes: effect of beta-blockers.

Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction contributes to hypertension and mechanisms of atherosclerosis. Agents that improve EC function may provide vascular protection, especially in patients with multiple risk factors. In this study, we ... Read more...
