Mending a broken heart: the role of mitophagy in cardioprotection.
The heart is highly energy dependent with most of its energy provided by mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Mitochondria also play a role in many other essential cellular processes including metabolite synthesis and calcium storage. Therefore, maintaining a functional population of mitochondria is critical for cardiac function. Efficient degradation and replacement of dysfunctional mitoch...

متن کاملImmune Modulation of Cardiac Repair and Regeneration: The Art of Mending Broken Hearts
The accumulation of immune cells is among the earliest responses that manifest in the cardiac tissue after injury. Both innate and adaptive immunity coordinate distinct and mutually non-exclusive events governing cardiac repair, including elimination of the cellular debris, compensatory growth of the remaining cardiac tissue, activation of resident or circulating precursor cells, quantitative a...
متن کاملMyocardin-related transcription factor-A: mending a broken heart.
Ventricular remodeling following myocardial infarction (MI) is a complex process driven by the response of both the myocytic and the nonmyocytic components of the heart to dynamic mechanical and neurohumoral stimuli. Despite the advent of reperfusion therapy and the administration of drugs slowing the progression of heart failure, many patients experiencing a MI undergo a progressive decline in...
