Does wnt10b Gain-of-Function improve Cardiac Repair by Arteriole Formation and Attenuation of Fibrosis?
Wnt10b gain-of-function coordinates arterial formation and attenuates fibrosis in cardiac tissue after injury. Because generation of mature blood vessels is necessary for efficient perfusion, our findings could lead to novel strategies to optimize the inherent repair capacity of the heart and prevent the onset of heart failure.
There was no reduction in the overall surgical-site infection rate among autologous breast reconstruction patients who received postoperative antibiotic prophylaxis for more than 24 hours.
