AI Article Synopsis
- Hydrogen sulfide (HS) is a vital signaling molecule that helps protect heart cells (cardiomyocytes) from damage due to lack of oxygen (ischemia).
- Researchers developed a tiny micelle that delivers HS directly inside cells, showing promising results in preventing cell death (apoptosis) during simulated ischemia.
- The study highlights the potential of HS as a therapeutic strategy for enhancing heart cell survival in low-oxygen conditions.
Article Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide, an important gaseous signaling molecule in the human body, is known to protect cardiomyocytes from ischemia, a condition characterized by insufficient oxygen supply to the cells. Here we show that a nanosized HS donor micelle releases HS intracellularly and prevents cardiomyocyte apoptosis in an in vitro ischemia model.
