Dr. Ava Nasrollahi published a new article entitled "laminins and the blood-brain barrier" in Matrix Biology.

Min, who recently graduated from her PhD together with Ava have identified novel markers for brain pericytes, specialized cells crucial for brain health and function. By generating a unique mouse model and employing advanced RNA sequencing, the team distinguished pericytes from similar vascular...

Renal Denervation Improves Cardiac Function and Exercise Duration in a Miniswine Model of Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction Aims - Overactivity of the sympathetic nervous system is a common underlying mechanism in development and progression of several heart failure with preserved...

Hydrogen Sulfide Deficiency and Therapeutic Targeting in Cardiometabolic HFpEF Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) presents significant treatment challenges. We assessed hydrogen sulfide (H 2S) bioavailability in HFpEF patients and 2 animal models: the "2-hit" L-NAME + high-fat...

This brand-new publication from the Swamynathan laboratory, spearheaded by Mehak Vohra and Simran Kumar, was supported by the rest of the team. In this paper, they used a novel mouse model and a variety of different assays to elucidate that the apicobasal polarity determinant Pard3 promotes corneal...
