Exosomes release: An additional back-up system in pathological cardiac remodeling?
Single-cell analysis of two heart failure mouse models leads us to investigate the role of exosomes during pathological hypertrophic remodeling.
How amygdala plays in obsessive-compulsive disorder: Magnetic resonance imaging reveals a specific role of amygdala subregions
Accumulating evidence show amygdala involved in obsessive-compulsive disorder(OCD). Prior studies typically examined the amygdala as a homogeneous structure. Here we segment the amygdala with connectivity-based parcellation approach and suggest disorganized amygdala subregional networks in OCD.
The connective tissue protein 'ADAMTSL3' is crucial for heart function
A new study reveals essential role of ADAMTSL3, an extracellular protein of unknown function, in maintaining cardiac structure and function in the failing heart. By regulating a central heart failure signalling pathway, ADAMTSL3 emerges as a potential therapeutic target for this deadly syndrome.
