  • A study from the Department of Clinical and Molecular Cardiovascular Research, Keio University School of Medicine, Shinjuku-ku Tokyo, Japan;  Department of Cardiology, Keio University School of Medicine, Shinjuku-ku Tokyo, Japan;  and  JST CREST, Shinjuku-ku Tokyo, Japan has reported that “MiR-133 promotes cardiac reprogramming by directly repressing Snai1 and silencing …”

  • This study was published in the 11 June 2014 EMBO Journal by Prof. Ieda M, Muraoka N and others from the Department of Clinical and Molecular Cardiovascular Research, Keio University School of Medicine, Shinjuku-ku Tokyo, Japan Department of Cardiology, Keio University School of Medicine, Shinjuku-ku Tokyo, Japan.
  • On the foundation of this interesting finding, Dr L Boominathan, Director-cum-chief Scientist of GBMD, reports here that: Mechanistic and Therapeutic insights into Cardiac reprogramming: Chaihuang-Yishen granule (CHYS) promotes the generation of cardiomyocyte-like cells from differentiated cells by decreasing Snai1/Snail expression. This study suggests that Chaihuang-Yishen granule (CHYS), by decreasing the expression of its target gene, it could increase the number of beating cardiomyocyte-like cells (iCMs).  Taken together, this study suggests that (1) pharmacological formulations containing “Chaihuang-Yishen granule (CHYS)” can be used to increase the number of beating cardiomyocyte-like cells (iCMs); and (2) Chaihuang-Yishen granule (CHYS) can be used to promote cardiac repair.
