Intercellular communication from myotubes to fibroblasts is differentially impacted by mineralocorticoid receptor signaling and muscular dystrophy - Cell Communication and Signaling Cell Communication and Signaling - Replacement of striated muscle with fibrosis leads to the symptoms and fatality in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Transient local production of the...

Environment‐induced heat stress causes ventricular‐dependent biochemical changes in the heart in female pigs Prolonged exposure to inescapable heat and humidity can lead to environment-induced heat stress (EIHS). The extent to which EIHS damages the heart is largely unknown, though our previous work indicat...
