Identifying a bona fide population of cardiac stem cells (CSCs) is critical step for developing cell-based therapies heart failure patients. Previously, c-kit(+) were reported to be CSCs with potential become myocardial, endothelial and smooth muscle in vitro after injury. Here we provide further insights into the nature cells. By targeting c-kit locus multiple reporter genes mice, find that expression rarely co-localizes progenitor myogenic marker Nkx2.5, or myocardial marker, troponin T...
A mouse model that mediates temporal, specific, and efficient myocardial deletion with Cre-LoxP technology will be a valuable tool to determine the function of genes during heart formation. Mhy6 encodes cardiac muscle specific protein: alpha-myosin heavy chain. Here, we generated new Myh6-MerCreMer (Myh6MerCreMer/+) inducible Cre knock-in by inserting MerCreMer cassette into Myh6 start codon. By crossing mice Rosa26 reporter lines, found Myh6MerCreMer/+ mediate complete recombination in...
Introduction: Pharmacovigilance may detect safety issues after marketing of medications, and this can result in regulatory action such as direct healthcare professional communications (DHPC). DHPC be effective changing prescribing behaviour, however the extent to which prescribers vary their response is unknown. This study aims explore changes variation among general practitioner (GP) practices following a on mirabegron, medication treat overactive bladder (OAB). Methods: an interrupted time...

Identifying a bona fide population of cardiac stem cells (CSCs) is critical step for developing cell-based therapies heart failure patients. For more than decade, c-kit, receptor tyrosine kinase expressed in certain types hematopoietic cells, has been recognized as marker resident CSCs mammals. It was shown that c-kit + are multipotent, with differentiation potential to become cardiomyocytes, endothelial, and smooth muscle vitro after injury. Here, we provide new insights into the nature...
