Defining the mechanisms underlying the control of mitochondrial fusion and fission is critical to understanding cellular adaptation to diverse physiological conditions. Here we demonstrate that… Expand
APJ ACTS AS A DUAL RECEPTOR IN CARDIAC HYPERTROPHY
- M. C. Scimia, C. Hurtado, +16 authors P. Ruiz-Lozano
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 29 May 2012
Cardiac hypertrophy is initiated as an adaptive response to sustained overload but progresses pathologically as heart failure ensues. Here we report that genetic loss of APJ, a G-protein-coupled… Expand
Disruption of the podosome adaptor protein TKS4 (SH3PXD2B) causes the skeletal dysplasia, eye, and cardiac abnormalities of Frank-Ter Haar Syndrome.

- Biology, Medicine
- American journal of human genetics
- 12 February 2010
Frank-Ter Haar syndrome (FTHS), also known as Ter Haar syndrome, is an autosomal-recessive disorder characterized by skeletal, cardiovascular, and eye abnormalities, such as increased intraocular… Expand
Targeted Ablation of PINCH1 and PINCH2 From Murine Myocardium Results in Dilated Cardiomyopathy and Early Postnatal Lethality
- Xingqun Liang, Y. Sun, +10 authors J. Chen

- 18 August 2009
Background— PINCH proteins are 5 LIM domain–only adaptor proteins that function as key components of the integrin signaling pathway and play crucial roles in multiple cellular processes. Two PINCH… Expand
Apelin receptor: its responsiveness to stretch mechanisms and its potential for cardiovascular therapy
- M. C. Scimia, B. Blass, W. Koch
- Medicine
- Expert review of cardiovascular therapy
- 21 May 2014
It has recently been demonstrated that the apelin receptor (APJ) plays a significant role in mediating the stretch response within the heart in a G-protein-independent and β-arrestin-dependent… Expand
Syncoilin is required for generating maximum isometric stress in skeletal muscle but dispensable for muscle cytoarchitecture.
- J. Zhang, M. Bang, +9 authors J. Chen
- Biology, Medicine
- American journal of physiology. Cell physiology
- 1 May 2008
Syncoilin is a striated muscle-specific intermediate filament-like protein, which is part of the dystrophin-associated protein complex (DPC) at the sarcolemma and provides a link between the… Expand
