DOI: 10.1002/nau.25045
Abstract: Bladder ischemia/reperfusion is an important etiologic factor for overactive bladder disease. The occurrence of this disease is closely associated with enhanced spontaneous contractile activity of the bladder. However, the relationship between bladder ischemia/reperfusion and altered… read more here.

Abstract: The field of cardiac tissue engineering has developed rapidly, but structural and functional immaturity of engineered heart tissues hinder their widespread use. Here, we show that a combination of low-rate (0.2 Hz) contractile activity and thyroid… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/aogs.14838
Abstract: Sufficient contractions are necessary for a successful delivery but each contraction temporarily constricts the oxygenated blood flow to the fetus. Individual fetal or placental characteristics determine how the fetus can withstand this temporary low oxygen… read more here.

Abstract: The rate of oxidative phosphorylation depends on the contractile activity of the heart. Cardiac mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation is determined by free ADP concentration, mitochondrial Ca2+ accumulation, mitochondrial enzyme activities, and Krebs cycle intermediates. The purpose… read more here.

DOI: 10.1152/physiol.2024.39.s1.1290
Abstract: In the context of energetically demanding conditions, such as exercise, skeletal muscle relies on mitochondria to support its metabolic requirements. Maintenance of mitochondria and their bioenergetic availability is thus critical to sustain the metabolic flexibility… read more here.
