Mitochondria play an important role in energy production, Ca 2+ homeostasis and cell death.
In recent years, the role of the mitochondria in apoptotic and necrotic cell death has …

The molecular mechanism for the transition from cardiac hypertrophy, an adaptive response
to biomechanical stress, to heart failure is poorly understood. The mitogen-activated protein …

Left ventricular remodeling that occurs after myocardial infarction (MI) and pressure overload
is generally accepted as a determinant of the clinical course of heart failure. The molecular …

Background— The time course of neointimal formation after stent implantation has not been
studied extensively by angioscopy in the drug-eluting stent era. Methods and Results— …

The Raf/MEK/extracellular signal–regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathway regulates diverse
cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis and is implicated …

Despite intensive searches for therapeutic agents, few substances have been convincingly
shown to enhance nerve regeneration in patients with peripheral neuropathies. Recent …

Organic semiconductors (OSCs) are important active materials for the fabrication of next-generation
organic-based electronics. However, the development of n-type OSCs lags behind …

Quiet Sun and active region spectra from the Hinode/EIS instrument are presented, and the
strongest lines from different temperature regions discussed. A list of emission lines …

A novel silicon pressure sensor has been developed which will enable high-precision pressure
measurement. The sensor, which is based on a new concept, is fabricated from a single …

Aims Substantial portion of early arrhythmia recurrence after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation
(AF) is considered to be due to irritability in left atrium (LA) from the ablation procedure. …
