New Publications Announced

Personnel in the Center for Cardiovascular Research and Alternative Medicine (C-CRAM) have more publications to add to their growing list of credits.

 "Cardiac Overexpression of Alcohol Dehydrogenase Alleviates Aging-associated Cardiomyocyte Contractile Dysfunction: Role of Intracellular Ca2+ Cycling Proteins" is included in the current issue of Aging Cell, and "Cardiac Health and Diabetes Mellitus in Women—Problems and Prospects" appeared recently in Minerva Cardioangiologica.

The Journal of Applied Physiology will soon publish "Intermedin (Adrenomedullin-2) Enhances Cardiac Contractile Function via a Protein Kinase C and Protein Kinase A-dependent Pathway in Murine Ventricular Myocytes," and Experimental Neurology has been accepted by "Acetaldehyde Promotes Rapamycin-dependent Activation of p70S6K and Glucose Uptake Despite Inhibition of Akt and mTOR in Dopaminergic SH-SY5Y Human Neuroblastoma Cells."

"Cardiac Specific Overexpression of Catalase Prolongs Lifespan, Attenuates Aging-induced Cardiomyocyte Contractile Dysfunction and Protein Damage" is in press at Clinical Experimental Pharmacological Physiology.

"Biodegradable Cationic Polyester as an Efficient Carrier for Gene Delivery to Neonatal Cardiomyocytes" is pending publication in Biotechnology and Bioengineering.
