Rationale: Cardiac development is a complex process that results in the first integrated, multi-lineage embryonic tissue. Imperfect developmental progression leads to congenital heart disease, the most common birth defect with developmental corruption affecting more than 1% of all live births. Inter...
Mammalian heart development is built on highly conserved molecular mechanisms with polygenetic perturbations resulting in a spectrum of congenital heart diseases (CHD). However, the transcriptional landscape of cardiogenic ontogeny that regulates proper cardiogenesis remains largely based on candida...
Cardiopoietic stem cells are in advanced clinical testing for ischemic heart failure. To profile their uncharted molecular influence on recipient hearts, systems proteomics was applied in a chronic murine model of infarction randomized with and without human cardiopoietic stem cell treatment. Four b...
A dual biomarker signature extracted a stage-specific cytotype according to cell surface expression of CXCR4/FLK-1 after 5 days of spontaneous differentiation from pluripotent stem cells. Genome-wide microarray analysis revealed a high degree of similarity between CXCR4+/FLK-1+ and CXCR4-/FLK-1- sub...
Whole-genome gene expression analysis has been successfully utilized to diagnose, prognosticate, and identify potential therapeutic targets for cardiovascular disease. However, the utility of this approach to identify outcome-related genes and dysregulated pathways following first-time myocardial in...
