The chick embryo ventricular cardiomyocyte model provides students easy access to experiments involving fundamental features of cardiac cell physiology and pharmacology. Using standard physiology teaching laboratories and basic cell culture equipment, spontaneously beating colonies of electrically-connected cardiomyocytes can be obtained by the students themselves. Students learn, aseptic techniques and cell culture alongside experiments illustrating, at the simplest level of experimentation, how beating rate can be altered physiologically or pharmacologically.

Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels control synaptic neurotransmission via an allosteric mechanism, whereby agonist binding induces global protein conformational changes that open an ion-conducting pore. For the proton-activated bacterial () ligand-gated ion channel (GLIC), high-resolution structures are available in multiple conformational states. We used a library of atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to study conformational changes and to perform dynamic network analysis to elucidate the communication pathways underlying the gating process.

TP53 mutations are highly associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a common and deadly cancer. However, few primary drivers in the progression of HCC with mutant TP53 have been identified. To uncover tumor suppressors in human HCC, a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9-based screening of primary human hepatocytes with MYC and TP53 overexpression (MT-PHHs) is performed in xenografts.

Background: Germinal matrix hemorrhage (GMH) is a common complication of premature infants with lifelong neurological consequences. Inflammation-mediated blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption has been implicated as a main mechanism of secondary brain injury after GMH. The cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway plays a crucial role in inflammation, yet its involvement in GMH pathophysiology remains unclear.

This systematic review evaluates the comparative effectiveness of bariatric surgery versus medical therapy in managing obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A decade-long literature search from January 2014 to January 2024 identified 10 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving diverse populations, interventions, and outcomes. The analysis demonstrates that bariatric procedures, such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), sleeve gastrectomy (SG), and metabolic surgery, consistently outperform medical interventions, including GLP-1 receptor agonists, SGLT2 inhibitors, and intensive lifestyle modifications, in achieving superior glycemic control, weight reduction, and metabolic improvement.
