Ismail Adeniran 2014 And Their Role in Cardiac Arrhythmogenesis The recently identified genetic short QT syndrome is characterised by abbreviated QT intervals on the electrocardiogram, an increased risk of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, and an increased risk of sudden death. Although the short QT syndrome has been suggested to provide a paradigm for increasing understanding […]

Jürgen Hescheler · Erhard Hofer Editors 2014 Potential for Regenerative Medicine of the Cardiovascular System There is hardly an area of research developing so quickly and raising so much hopes and promises as stem cell research. Embryonic, fetal, and adult stem cells provide cells with pluri- and multipotency, respectively, and allow deeper insights into mechanisms […]

Swati Palit Deb • Sumitra Deb Editors 2014 Since its discovery, p53 research has been the highlight of understanding the crucial role of oncogenes and tumor suppressors in regulated or deregulated cell growth. In the last decade, special attention was focused on gain of function mutations of p53 that can turn the tumor suppressor to […]

Nirmal K. Ganguly • Surinder K. Jindal Shyam Biswal • Peter J. Barnes Ruby Pawankar Editors 2014 Oxygen species constitute an important vehicle of damage in disease pathogenesis including several respiratory diseases. Although the information has been available for more than four decades, it had been difficult to attribute a specific role to oxidative stress in a cause-and-effect […]
