A meta-analysis on the global prevalence, risk factors and screening of coronary heart disease in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

…, EY Tan, EXX Tan, YY Dan, PH Loh, R Foo… - Clinical …, 2022 - Elsevier
Background & Aims Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in patients
with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Studies examining the association of coronary …

[HTML][HTML] Death begets failure in the heart

RSY Foo, K Mani, RN Kitsis - The Journal of clinical …, 2005 - Am Soc Clin Investig
Recently, low — but abnormal — rates of cardiomyocyte apoptosis have been observed in
failing human hearts. Genetic and pharmacological studies suggest that this cell death is …

[HTML][HTML] Engineered circular RNA sponges act as miRNA inhibitors to attenuate pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy

…, YP Li, TB Lim, J Jiang, M Ackers-Johnson, RSY Foo - Molecular Therapy, 2020 - cell.com
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) sequester microRNAs (miRNAs) and repress their endogenous
activity. We hypothesized that artificial circRNA sponges (circmiRs) can be constructed to …

[HTML][HTML] MicroRNAs targeting the SARS-CoV-2 entry receptor ACE2 in cardiomyocytes

…, S Chatterjee, K Xiao, I Riedel, Y Wang, R Foo… - Journal of Molecular and …, 2020 - Elsevier
The World Health Organization (WHO) declared coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as a
public health emergency of international concern as more than 15 million cases were …

A landscape of circular RNA expression in the human heart

…, TDA Luu, PYQ Li, AM Richards, RSY Foo - Cardiovascular …, 2017 - academic.oup.com
Aims Circular RNA (circRNA) is a newly validated class of single-stranded RNA, ubiquitously
expressed in mammalian tissues and possessing key functions including acting as …

[HTML][HTML] Extracellular vesicles from human embryonic stem cell-derived cardiovascular progenitor cells promote cardiac infarct healing through reducing …

Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs)-derived cardiovascular progenitor cells (CVPCs) are
a promising source for myocardial repair, while the mechanisms remain largely unknown. …

[HTML][HTML] What we know about cardiomyocyte dedifferentiation

Y Zhu, VD Do, AM Richards, R Foo - Journal of molecular and cellular …, 2021 - Elsevier
Cardiomyocytes (CMs) lost during cardiac injury and heart failure (HF) cannot be replaced
due to their limited proliferative capacity. Regenerating the failing heart by promoting CM cell-…

…, T Kofidis, CC Woo, XY Lin, R Foo… - Frontiers in …, 2020 - frontiersin.org
The pathobiology of atherosclerotic disease requires further elucidation to discover new
approaches to address its high morbidity and mortality. To date, over 17 million cardiovascular-…

[HTML][HTML] Differential DNA methylation correlates with differential expression of angiogenic factors in human heart failure

…, M Goddard, MR Bennett, TA Down, RSY Foo - PloS one, 2010 - journals.plos.org
Epigenetic mechanisms such as microRNA and histone modification are crucially responsible
for dysregulated gene expression in heart failure. In contrast, the role of DNA methylation, …

[HTML][HTML] Single cardiomyocyte nuclear transcriptomes reveal a lincRNA-regulated de-differentiation and cell cycle stress-response in vivo

…, PYQ Li, TDA Luu, M Ackers-Johnson, RS Foo - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
