Apelin overexpression remodels aged mesenchymal stem cells to generate miR-486a-5p-enriched exosomes that drive cardiac repair

Abstract Background Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapy has shown promising cardioprotective effects in myocardial infarction (MI), yet the therapeutic utility of aged MSCs (AMSCs) is substantially compromised by replicative senescence and functional decline during in vitro...

Geometric morphological parameters from cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in assessment of chronic pulmonary thromboembolism, a prospective pilot study

Abstract Objective The role of geometric-morphological parameters derived from cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) in assessing and stratifying chronic pulmonary thromboembolism (CPTE) remains unclear. Material and methods We prospectively enrolled 53 CPTE patients (16 with...
