Article Synopsis
  • Heart degenerative diseases are hard to treat because the heart has a poor ability to regenerate lost cells called cardiomyocytes.
  • Direct cellular reprogramming using small molecules offers a safer way to create functional cardiomyocytes without modifying genes, but the current methods are not very efficient and lead to immature cells.
  • This study found that delivering mitochondria from high-energy organs can improve the maturity and functionality of chemically induced cardiomyocyte-like cells (CiCMs), which may enhance their potential use in regenerative medicine.

Prognostic impact of high p16/cyclin D1 index in breast cancer.

Int J Clin Exp Pathol

June 2019

Department of Pathology, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Severance Hospital Seoul, Republic of Korea.

Proteins p16 and cyclin D1 (CCND1) are known to tightly regulate the G1/S transition during the cell cycle, but their role in breast cancer development and progression is not clear. We investigated 224 cases of breast cancer from the Kangbuk Samsung Medical Center between 2000-2005. Expression levels of p16 and CCND1 were assessed by tissue microarray-based immunohistochemistry.
