Heart function and hemodynamic analysis for zebrafish embryos
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc.
, 2017 , Article Review)
The Zebrafish has emerged to become a powerful vertebrate animal model for cardiovascular research in recent years. Its advantages include easy genetic manipulation, transparency, small size, low cost, and the ability to ...
Do changes in ace-2 expression affect sars-cov-2 virulence and related complications: A closer look into membrane-bound and soluble forms
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article Review)
The SARS-CoV-2 virus utilizes angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE-2) for cell entry and infection. This enzyme has important functions in the renin-angiotensin aldosterone system to preserve cardiovascular function. In ...
Zebrafish as a Model for Anticancer Nanomedicine Studies.
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article Review)
Nanomedicine is a new approach to fight against cancer by the development of anticancer nanoparticles (NPs) that are of high sensitivity, specificity, and targeting ability to detect cancer cells, such as the ability of ...
Use of Animal Models for Investigating Cardioprotective Roles of SGLT2 Inhibitors
(
Springer
, 2023 , Article Review)
Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors represent one type of new-generation type 2 diabetes (T2DM) drug treatment. The mechanism of action of an SGLT2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) in treating T2DM depends on lowering ...
The Role of p90 Ribosomal S6 Kinase (RSK) in Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI)-Induced Cardiotoxicity
(
Springer
, 2023 , Article Review)
Targeted therapy, such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), has been approved to manage various cancer types. However, TKI-induced cardiotoxicity is a limiting factor for their use. This issue has raised the need for ...
Disturbed hemodynamics and oxidative stress interaction in endothelial dysfunction and AAA progression: Focus on Nrf2 pathway
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article Review)
Hemodynamic shear stress is one of the major factors that are involved in the pathogenesis of many cardiovascular diseases including atherosclerosis and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), through its modulatory effect on the ...
