Pathophysiology of Heart Failure01:17

Pathophysiology of Heart Failure

2.3K
Heart failure (HF) is a progressive syndrome involving ventricles that leads to inadequate cardiac output. It can be classified based on location and output or ejection fraction. Ejection fraction (EF) is an essential measurement in the diagnosis and surveillance of HF. Reduced EF corresponds to systolic heart failure (HFrEF). However, HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is becoming increasingly prevalent. Also known as diastolic HF, this form of HF is related to aging. The...

Phases of Wound Repair01:28

Phases of Wound Repair

7.3K
Following injury, the integrity of the injured tissues must be reestablished. For example, in skin tissue, wound repair involves coordination among resident skin cells, blood mononuclear cells, extracellular matrix, growth factors, and cytokines to complete the healing cascade.
Formation of Blood Clot
In case of deep injuries, trauma to blood vessels results in blood loss. In the meantime, phospholipids released from the ruptured endothelial cellular membrane are converted into arachidonic...

Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply01:24

Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply

3.1K
Rapidly dividing tumors, embryos, and wounded tissues require more oxygen than usual, lowering the oxygen concentration in the blood. At low oxygen or hypoxic conditions, an oxygen-sensitive transcription factor called the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 or HIF1 is activated. HIF1 is a dimeric protein of alpha (ɑ) and beta (β) subunits.  Under optimal oxygen conditions, HIF1β is present in the nucleus while HIF1ɑ remains in the cytosol. HIF1ɑ is hydroxylated by prolyl...

Imbalances in Cardiac Output01:26

Imbalances in Cardiac Output

2.0K
The heart's primary function is to pump blood throughout the body, maintaining a balance between blood sent out (cardiac output) and blood returning (venous return). If this balance is disrupted, it can result in congestive heart failure (CHF), a severe condition where the heart becomes an inefficient pump, leading to inadequate blood circulation.
CHF can occur due to the failure of either side of the heart. Left-side failure leads to pulmonary congestion—the right side continues to send...

Overview of Regeneration and Repair01:19

Overview of Regeneration and Repair

4.8K
Regeneration and repair processes are critical in healing damages caused by injury, disease, and aging. In regeneration, the damaged tissue is entirely replaced with new growth that restores the original architecture and function. In contrast, tissue repair usually results in a fixed tissue architecture involving scar formation. Scars generally do not reestablish tissue function and may also exhibit structural abnormalities at the injury site.

Blood Flow01:29

Blood Flow

74.9K
Blood is pumped by the heart into the aorta, the largest artery in the body, and then into increasingly smaller arteries, arterioles, and capillaries. The velocity of blood flow decreases with increased cross-sectional blood vessel area. As blood returns to the heart through venules and veins, its velocity increases. The movement of blood is encouraged by smooth muscle in the vessel walls, the movement of skeletal muscle surrounding the vessels, and one-way valves that prevent backflow.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology and tissue engineering
  • Cellular biology and biophysics
  • Mathematical modeling of biological systems

Background:

  • Subcellular aging mechanisms are understood, but macro-level tissue/organ failure dynamics are not.
  • The cascade from micro-level cell failures to macro-level aging catastrophes requires exploration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To experimentally and theoretically investigate cell failure propagation in engineered tissues.
  • To understand the role of advective flow in aging-related tissue degradation.
  • To elucidate the mechanisms of failure cascade from cellular to tissue levels.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized an engineered tissue model to study cell failure.
  • Incorporated advective flow into experimental conditions.
  • Developed theoretical models to analyze failure dynamics.
  • Investigated the role of secreted cooperative factors.

Main Results:

  • Identified a propagating front of cell failure.
  • Demonstrated that failure propagation is parallel to advective flow.
  • Showed that cells secrete cooperative factors, creating an interdependent network.
  • Quantified the dynamics of failure in the presence of flow.

Conclusions:

  • Cell failure propagation in tissues is influenced by advective flow.
  • A network of cellular interdependence, governed by diffusion and flow, underlies tissue aging.
  • Failure propagates as a front, driven by secreted factors and influenced by circulation patterns.
