Mashup Score: 10Follistatin From hiPSC-Cardiomyocytes Promotes Myocyte Proliferation in Pigs With Postinfarction LV Remodeling | Circulation Research - 6 day(s) ago
BACKGROUND: When human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) that CCND2-OE (overexpressed cyclin-D2) were differentiated into cardiomyocytes (CCND2-OEhiPSC-CMs) and administered to the infarcted hearts of immunodeficient mice, the cells proliferated after administration and repopulated >50% of the scar. Here, we knocked out human leukocyte antigen class I and class II expression in CCND2-OEhiPSC-CMs (KO/OEhiPSC-CMs) to reduce the cells’ immunogenicity and then assessed the therapeutic efficacy of KO/OEhiPSC-CMs for the treatment of myocardial infarction. METHODS: KO/OEhiPSC-CM and wild-type hiPSC-CM (WThiPSC-CM) spheroids were differentiated in shaking flasks, purified, characterized, and intramyocardially injected into pigs after ischemia/reperfusion injury; control animals were injected with basal medium. Cardiac function was evaluated via cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, and cardiomyocyte proliferation was assessed via immunostaining and single-nucleus RNA sequencing. RESULTS:

Mashup Score: 8Disease trajectories following myocardial infarction: insights from process mining of 145 million hospitalisation episodes - 1 month(s) ago
These results provide an opportunity for early intervention targets for survivors of MI—such as increased focus on the psychological and behavioural pathways—to mitigate ongoing adverse disease trajectories, multimorbidity, and premature mortality.

The patient-tailored, medical decision support ARTEMIS-POC algorithm applied with a single POC hs-cTnI measurement allows for very rapid, safe, and more efficient direct rule-out of myocardial infarction than guideline-recommended pathways. It has the potential to expedite the safe discharge of low-risk patients from the emergency department including early presenters with symptom onset less than 3 h at the time of admission and might open new opportunities for the triage of patients with suspected myocardial infarction even in ambulatory, preclinical, or geographically isolated care settings.
