Biochemical and structural changes occurring in the myocardium with aging are mainly resulting from the association of a general tissue atrophy with the hypertrophy of the remaining myocytes. Whilst hypertrophy seems to be a compensatory process to the loss of cardiomyocytes and to a mild systolic h

## Abstract The development of medical devices for cardiovascular applications has suffered due to lack of understanding of why vascular wall cells act nonphysiologically when exposed to biomaterials. One possible reason might be the chemical environment associated with cardiovascular disease. An i
Increasing evidence shows that reactive oxygen species (ROS) may be critical mediators of liver damage during the relative hypoxia of ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) associated with transplant surgery or of the tissue microenvironment created as a result of chronic hepatic inflammation or infectio
