Previous studies, including ours, suggest that tumour repressor p53 is activated during somatic cell reprogramming, and efficiency of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) formation is limited through transactivation of p53 target genes leading to apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Recent studies revealed non-transcriptional effects of p53 on…

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells and Their Potential Applications
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are generated from somatic cells, such as skin fibroblasts, by ectopic expression of defined reprogramming factors. Within a few years of the first report of the generation of mouse iPSCs, several laboratories reportedly reproduced these cells using other cell types and species using similar…

Until the 20th century, conventional medicine relied almost exclusively on observable characteristics to classify and treat human disease.1 Even in the modern era, physicians define diseases using phenotypic similarities and employ relatively simple algorithms to interpret diagnostic tools and plan treatment. The advent of low-cost genetic sequencing and its introduction into clinical care…

Refractory angina (RA) is defined as chronic angina-type chest pain (duration ≥ 3 months) associated with reversible ischaemia that persists despite optimal medical, interventional and surgical management.1
The clinical burden of RA is growing due to an ageing population and improved survival from coronary artery disease (CAD). Estimates suggest that in the US between 600,000 and 1.8 million…

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is still a major public health problem worldwide, causing high rates of morbidity and mortality. In the United States, nearly one million patients suffer from AMI each year.1 In the UK, around 80,000 people died from coronary heart disease (CHD) in 2010.2
The current approach to the treatment of myocardial infarction involves early revascularisation with…

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is generally defined as the persistent (at least 6 months) inability to achieve and maintain penile erection sufficient to allow satisfactory sexual performance.1 It is a common condition, and recent studies predict a higher prevalence of ED in the future.2 It is estimated that ED has affected more than 150 million men worldwide and this number will reach approximately…

Cell therapy for myocardial regeneration is an exciting new field of medical research that has the potential to revolutionise cardiovascular medicine. Despite significant improvements in emergency treatment, myocardial infarction (MI) leads to a net loss of contractile tissue in many patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Often, this is the beginning of a downward spiral towards congestive…
