33 Sperber, Alexander M.A novel approach to differentiating cardiac fibroblasts from induced pluripotent stem cellsHeart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States, and such disease is caused by electrical, chemical, or biomechanical imbalances in the heart. The two most abundant cells comprising the heart that are responsible for these functions are cardiomyocytes and cardiac fibroblasts. I...2022
34 Taggart, Maxwell M.A novel MRI-based screening method for assessing atrio-esophageal fistula risk following cardia ablationAtrio-esophageal fistulas affect 1 in 2000 patients who undergo cardiac ablation procedures with a mortality rate of 93%. Methods for detecting atrio-esophageal fistula formation that are objective and non-invasive could reduce the mortality associated with this disease. This study was performed ret...Magnetic resonance imaging; Cardia ablation; Trio-esophageal fistual2014-12
35 Dhiman, GareemaA novel organelle of the synapseDuring neurotransmission, neurons constantly fuse and recycle synaptic vesicles from the presynaptic membrane.
