Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) derived from dermal fibroblasts having wild type (WT) SCN5A were engineered by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing to harbor a specific point mutation (C2204>T) in SCN5A, which results in a substitution of the WT alanine by valine at codon 735 (A735V). The established MUSli009-A-1 hiPSC line has a homozygous C2204>T mutation on exon 14 of SCN5A that was confirmed by DNA sequencing analysis. The cells exhibited normal karyotype, expressed pluripotent markers and retained its capability to differentiate into three germ layers. The cardiomyocytes derived from this line would be a useful model for investigating cardiac channelopathy.

Background: Coronal wedge insoles are commonly prescribed to mitigate musculoskeletal disorders, yet their static-standing kinematic and kinetic effects on lower extremity joints remain insufficiently understood.
Methods: This cross-sectional experimental study included 15 healthy older adults (mean 64.9 ± 6.

Background: High-dose insulin and euglycemic therapy are widely used to treat calcium channel blocker toxicity. However, the effect of insulin on vasodilation evoked by the dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker amlodipine remains unknown. This study examined the effect of insulin on amlodipine-induced vasodilation in isolated rat aortas with specific emphasis on mechanisms associated with nitric oxide (NO).

ARL13B is a regulatory GTPase enriched in cilia, making it a popular marker for this organelle. Arl13bhnn/hnn mice lack ARL13B expression, die during midgestation, and exhibit defects in ciliogenesis. The R26Arl13b-Fucci2aR biosensor mouse line directs the expression of fluorescently tagged full-length Arl13b cDNA upon Cre recombination.

Background: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) represents a challenging complication of diabetes mellitus, characterized by slow healing processes. Protein kinase C delta (PKCδ) has been identified as a significant factor in the pathogenesis of various diabetic complications, including DFU. However, the precise underlying mechanisms remain to be fully elucidated.

For individuals with diabetes, maintaining optimal glycaemic control is essential to reduce the risk of long-term complications. However, as patients approach the end of life, the emphasis on tight glycaemic targets becomes less relevant. Instead, the primary goal shifts to maintaining blood glucose levels within a range that minimises the risk of hypoglycaemia and prevents symptomatic hyperglycaemia, thereby ensuring comfort and quality of life.
