Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Perforation and Stenting for a Premature Neonate with Pulmonary Valve Atresia and Double Outlet Right Ventricle by Mohammed Rasool Hussein, Maysam Yousif Abed, Nabeeha Najatee Akram

“…Prematurely born neonates are considered high-risk group for early pulmonary artery shunt surgery as the staged repair is found to be associated with higher interstage mortality, while the primary repair may lead to frequent postrepair reinterventions due to the presence of associated developmental anomalies. In this report, we present the successful results of using percutaneous transcatheterization in a high-risk patient; a 6-h premature neonate who had DORV, PVA with other anomalies including situs inversus, levocardia, D-malposed great arteries without patent ductus arteriosus. …”

Unchain My Heart: Integrins at the Basis of iPSC Cardiomyocyte Differentiation by Rosaria Santoro, Gianluca Lorenzo Perrucci, Aoife Gowran, Giulio Pompilio

“…The cellular response to the extracellular matrix (ECM) microenvironment mediated by integrin adhesion is of fundamental importance, in both developmental and pathological processes. In particular, mechanotransduction is of growing importance in groundbreaking cellular models such as induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), since this process may strongly influence cell fate and, thus, augment the precision of differentiation into specific cell types, e.g., cardiomyocytes. …”
