Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are suggested to promote angiogenesis in a rat model of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study aimed to explore the underlying mechanism of BMSCs-EVs in AMI-induced heart failure (HF). BMSCs were isolated and verified, and EVs were purified and identified. After establishment of AMI-induced HF models, rats were treated with BMSCs-EVs and/or overexpressing (ov)/knocking down (kd) bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2). Cardiac function, myocardial histopathological changes, angiogenesis, and vascular regeneration density were measured. Levels of pro-angiogenesis factors and cardiomyocyte apoptosis were detected. The viability and angiogenesis of hypoxic human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were measured. After BMSCs-EV treatment, the cardiac function of HF rats was improved, myocardial fibrosis and inflammatory cell infiltration were decreased, angiogenesis was increased, and cardiomyocyte apoptosis was inhibited. BMP2 was significantly upregulated in the myocardium. Ov-BMP2-BMSCs-EVs alleviated myocardial fibrosis and inflammatory cell infiltration, and promoted angiogenesis of HF rats, and improved the activity and angiogenesis of hypoxic HUVECs, while kd-BMP2-BMSCs-EVs showed limited protection against AMI-induced HF. BMSCs-EVs deliver BMP2 to promote angiogenesis and improve cardiac function of HF rats.

Background: The pressure gradient between the ventricles and the subarachnoid space (transmantle pressure) is crucial for understanding CSF circulation and the pathogenesis of certain neurodegenerative diseases. This pressure can be approximated by the pressure difference across the aqueduct (ΔP). Currently, no dedicated platform exists for quantifying ΔP, and no research has been conducted on the impact of breathing on ΔP.

Aging remains the foremost risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, surpassing traditional factors in epidemiological significance. This review elucidates the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying vascular aging, with an emphasis on sex differences that influence disease progression and clinical outcomes in older adults. We discuss the convergence of aging processes at the macro- and microvascular levels and their contributions to the pathogenesis of vascular diseases.

This study presents an advanced methodology for 3D heart reconstruction using a combination of deep learning models and computational techniques, addressing critical challenges in cardiac modeling and segmentation. A multi-dataset approach was employed, including data from the UK Biobank, MICCAI Multi-Modality Whole Heart Segmentation (MM-WHS) challenge, and clinical datasets of congenital heart disease. Preprocessing steps involved segmentation, intensity normalization, and mesh generation, while the reconstruction was performed using a blend of statistical shape modeling (SSM), graph convolutional networks (GCNs), and progressive GANs.

Sorting nexins (SNXs) as the key regulators of sorting cargo proteins are involved in diverse diseases. SNXs can form the specific reverse vesicle transport complex (SNXs-retromer) with vacuolar protein sortings (VPSs) to sort and modulate recovery and degradation of cargo proteins. Our previous study has shown that SNX3-retromer promotes both STAT3 activation and nuclear translocation in cardiomyocytes, suggesting that SNX3 might be a critical regulator in the heart.
