Role of the rapid delayed rectifier K+ current in human induced pluripotent stem cells derived cardiomyocytes
The action potential (AP) in cardiac tissue is important for initiating and coordinating contractions in the heart. In addition, the long refractory period minimizes the potential for developing extrasystoles and arrhythmias. The AP is generated by coordinate changes in different ionic currents. In human (or canine) adult ventricular cells, the depolarization phase of the AP is mainly through the influx of Na+ and Ca2+ through specific voltage gated channels.
Mathematical modeling of consciousness based on the human language- An interpreting measurement problem in quantum mechanics
This paper discusses the interpretation of the measurement problem and Qbism in quantum mechanics using the Human Language based Consciousness (HLbC) model proposed by the author. The HLbC model holds that consciousness is generated from physical processes only. It adopts the position that consciousness is generated from physical processes only.
Effect of senescence on behavior of mesenchymal stromal/stem cells
During lifespan the homeostasis and repair of organs and tissues are guaranteed by the adult stem cell population. Among them, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), which contain a subpopulation of multipotent stem cells, are emerging as promising candidates for cell therapy of numerous diseases. MSCs are non-hematopoietic cells capable of self-renewal and differentiation into osteocytes, adipocytes, and chondrocytes.
