Basic Research at the Feinberg Cardiovascular Research Institute

A wide variety of novel basic research programs are underway at FCVRI.  Our outstanding researchers contributed 11 presentations at the American Heart Association conference in Orlando, Florida in November 2007. Some of these may be viewed here.

Belin, R. et al.  Molecular Basis for Autonomic Remodeling in the Ventricular Tachypacing Canine Model of Congestive Heart Failure         
Ii, M. et al.  Genetic Modification with Sonic Hedgehog Mitigates Aging-Induced EPC Dysfunction and Augments Therapeutic Angiogenesis of Endogenous EPCs Following Acute Myocardial Infarction

Johnson, R. et al.  STAT3-Dependent Mouse Embryonic Stem Cell Differentiation into Cardiomyocytes: Analysis of Molecular Signaling and Therapeutic Efficacy of Cardiomyocyte Pre-committed mESin a Mouse model of Myocardial Infarction

Lee, D.C. et al.  Correcting Curvilinear Myocardial Signal Response to Gadolinium Improves Accuracy of Absolute Myocardial Blood Flow Quantification by MRI Perfusion Imaging

Roncalli, J. et al.  Combined Stem Cell Mobilization Via CXCR4 Antagonist Augments Recruitment of EPCs Following Sonic Hedgehog Gene Therapy via Increased Local Expression of VEGF and SDF-1

Sekiguchi, H. et al.  Neural Stem Cells Contribute to Peripheral Nerve Repair by Coordinated Angiogenesis and Neurogenesis

Sun, L. et al.  Mitochondrial Binding and Glucose Phosphorylation Are Both Needed for the Protective Effects of Hexokinase I and II
