Cardiovascular metrics and transepidermal water loss in a high heat risk environment
Heat stress is currently primarily classified by environmental factors and not physiological factors. It is already known that certain cardiovascular metrics such as heart rate, stroke volume, blood pressure and vascular compliance undergo changes as the body traverses the different classifications of heat stress from heat oedema to heat stroke. However, there is no specific metric that provides ...

Novel ‘3D’ Stent Improves Clinical Status in Femoropopliteal Disease Patients
PARIS, France—A "3D" helical stent that mimics the natural vascular curvature helps improve clinical symptoms and walking distance at 12 months in patients with femoropopliteal disease, according to results presented Tuesday, May 21 at EuroPCR 2013. For the Mimics study, researchers led by Stephan H. Duda, MD, of Jewish Hospital Berlin (Berlin, Germany), randomized 76 patients with ...

A nitric oxide releasing, self assembled peptide amphiphile matrix that mimics native endothelium for coating implantable cardiovascular devices
Abstract Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death in the United States. Deployment of stents and vascular grafts has been a major therapeutic method for treatment. However, restenosis, incomplete endothelialization, and thrombosis hamper the long term clinical success. As a solution to meet these current challenges, we have developed a native endothelial ECM mimicking ...

The Role of MMP-3: Insights into Disease Progression and Therapeutic Potential
The MMP Family Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of enzymes belonging to the metzincin superfamily. There are 23 different types of secreted or membrane-anchored endopeptidases in the human body. MMPs are capable of degrading ECM proteins such as collagen, gelatin, laminin, fibronectin, fibrinogen, elastin, and proteoglycans. They were once considered regulators of the extracellular ...
