Abstract
We used three independent experimental approaches to determine the role of ADK as a molecular target for predicting the brain's susceptibility to ischemic stroke. First, when subjected to a middle cerebral artery occlusion model of focal cerebral ischemia, transgenic fb-Adk-def mice, which have incr...

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is independently associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Ischemia is the leading cause of AKI, and short of supportive measures, no currently available therapy can effectively treat or prevent ischemic AKI. This paper discusses recent developments in the understan...

Abstract
We speculate that this permits sorting of highly functional components into one end of a mitochondrion, while damaged components are segregated at the other end, to be jettisoned by asymmetric fission followed by selective mitophagy. Ischemic preconditioning requires autophagy/mitophagy, resulting i...

Abstract
We have previously shown that remote ischemic preconditioning (rIPC) by transient limb ischemia leads to the release of a circulating factor(s) that induces potent myocardial protection. Intra-arterial injection of adenosine into a limb also leads to cardioprotection, but the mechanism of its signal...

Abstract
PURPOSE. Retinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury damages retinal neurons. Carbon monoxide (CO) recently attracted attention as cytoprotective because of its anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic effects. Rapid preconditioning of retinal neurons by inhaled CO before I/R injury may reduce inflammation...
