Abstract Myocardial infarction (MI) is a leading cause of mortality among cardiovascular diseases. Following MI, the damaged myocardium progressively being replaced by fibrous scar tissue, which exhibits poor electrical conductivity, ultimately resulting in arrhythmias and adverse cardiac remodeling. Due to their extracellular matrix‐like structure excellent biocompatibility, hydrogels are emerging as focal point tissue engineering. However, traditional lack necessary conductivity restore signal transmission infarcted regions. Imparting while also enhancing adhesive properties enables them adhere closely myocardial establish stable connections, facilitate synchronized contraction repair within area. This paper reviews strategies for constructing conductive hydrogels, focusing on application MI repair. Furthermore, challenges future directions developing discussed.

The significance of this ion oncogenesis suggests that membrane-relevant proteins are involved its regulation deregulated various cancers. These channels transporters could be targets for therapeutic interventions. An evaluation expression transient receptor potential (TRP) prostate cancer was performed using publicly available genomic proteome data.

Developmental patterning is essential for regulating cellular events such as axial patterning, segmentation, tissue formation, and organ size determination during embryogenesis. Understanding the mechanisms remains a central challenge fundamental interest in developmental biology. Ion-channel-regulated bioelectric signals have emerged player of mechanism, which may interact with morphogens. Evidence from multiple model organisms reveals roles bioelectricity embryonic development, regeneration, cancers. The Zebrafish second most used vertebrate model, next to mouse model. zebrafish has great potential elucidating functions due many advantages external transparent early embryogenesis, tractable genetics.

Abstract Most animal cell types are classified as non‐excitable because they do not generate action potentials observed in excitable cells, such neurons and muscle cells. Thus, resolving voltage signals cells demands sensors with exceptionally high sensitivity. In this study, the ultrabright, ultrasensitive, calibratable genetically encoded sensor rEstus is developed using structure‐guided engineering. most sensitive resting range of offers a 3.6‐fold improvement brightness change for fast spikes over its precursor ASAP3. Using rEstus, it uncovered that membrane several lines (A375, HEK293T, MCF7) undergoes spontaneous endogenous alterations on second to millisecond timescale. Correlation analysis these optically recorded provides direct, real‐time readout electrical cell–cell coupling, showing visually connected A375 HEK293T also largely electrically connected, while MCF7 only weakly coupled. The presented work enhanced tools methods non‐invasive imaging living demonstrates limited but occur variety types.

Morphogenetic regulation during embryogenesis and regeneration rely on information transfer coordination between different regions. Here, we explore theoretically the coupling bioelectrical transcriptional oscillations at individual cell multicellular levels. The simulations, based a set of ion channels intercellular gap junctions, show that waves can electrophysiologically couple distant regions model network in phase antiphase oscillatory states include synchronization phenomena. In this way, regionalizations be encoded by potentials oscillate depolarized polarized states, thus allowing spatio-temporal coding. Because electric potential patterns characteristic development are correlated with spatial distributions signaling ions molecules, bioelectricity act as template for slow biochemical signals following hierarchy experimental times. particular, gradients to transcription rates give each single rough idea its location ensemble, controlling local differentiation processes switch off crucial parts genome.

Bioelectric signals possess the ability to robustly control and manipulate patterning during embryogenesis tissue-level regeneration. Endogenous local global electric fields function as a spatial ‘pre-pattern’, controlling cell fates tissue-scale anatomical boundaries; however, mechanisms facilitating these robust multiscale outcomes are poorly characterized. Computational modeling addresses need predict in vitro behavior further elucidate roles of cellular bioelectric signaling components outcomes. Here, we modified previously designed image pattern recognition algorithm distinguish unique features simulated non-excitable patterns under distinct culture conditions.

There is an ongoing scientific discussion, that anti-cancer effects induced by radiofrequency (RF)-hyperthermia might not be solely attributable to subsequent temperature elevations at the tumor site but also non-temperature-induced effects. The exact molecular mechanisms behind said potential non-thermal RF remain largely elusive, however, limiting their therapeutical targetability.
