Do platelet-leucocyte aggregates form in the mesenteric vasculature in patients with ulcerative colitis?
The finding of increased numbers of PLAs in the venous mesenteric circulation supports the hypothesis that activated vascular endothelium stimulates PLA formation in UC.
The fetal regenerative response to myocardial infarction requires the recruitment of cardiac progenitor cells and is dependent on SDF1α. This novel model of mammalian cardiac regeneration after myocardial infarction provides a powerful tool to better understand cardiac progenitor cell biology and to develop strategies to cardiac regeneration in the adult.
