Cardiovascular Research
Enabling Transformative Discoveries
In the dynamic landscape of modern health, cardiovascular diseases rank as the foremost global causes of mortality. From exploring the intricate connections between chronic inflammation and the development of cardiovascular conditions, to investigating how impaired mitochondrial function contributes to the onset and progression of heart failure, researchers are navigating the complexities of cardiovascular disease progression to address critical aspects of cardiovascular health.
Cardiovascular treatment is dependent on the cause and the extent of heart damage. While healthy lifestyle, medication and even surgery are common treatments, stem cell therapy development has been emerging as a dynamic frontier, where scientific investigation converges with therapeutic innovation.

Chronic inflammation is recognized as a key contributor to the development of cardiovascular diseases.
Mitochondria play a crucial role in the energy metabolism of cardiac cells, and their dysfunction has been implicated in heart failure.
Cellular therapy is a novel approach to treat cardiovascular diseases.
Biomarkers play a crucial role in risk assessment, diagnosis, and in monitoring treatment response of cardiovascular conditions.
Angiogenesis & Vascular Biology
Vascular growth and regeneration are fundamental processes in the maintenance and repair of the circulatory system. Vascular growth, also known as angiogenesis, is a complex and tightly regulated process that occurs during development, and under various physiological and pathological conditions. It also plays a pivotal role in cardiovascular diseases and cancer growth.
Vasopressin, also known as arginine vasopressin (AVP) or [Arg8]-Vasopressin, is a peptide hormone produced by the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary gland, to regulate osmotic balance, sodium homeostasis, kidney function, and blood pressure. Recent studies explore the potential role of vasopressin as a pro-angiogenic factor that reduces cardiovascular damage.
[Arg8] Vasopressin ELISA Kit
The highly sensitive [Arg8] Vasopressin ELISA Kit can measure this critical peptide hormone involved in blood vessel constriction, and linked to several cardiovascular processes. For instance, this assay can detect elevated levels of AVP in plasma samples, in cases of ischemic cardiomyopathy, for the study of chronic congestive heart failure.
- High sensitivity, detecting as little as 2.84 pg/ml
- High specificity, with negligible reactivity towards oxytocin and other related molecules
- Widely cited and flexible, to use with a variety of sample types including urine, perfusates, plasma, tissue, and serum

Calcium Mobilization
Calcium plays a crucial role in the contraction of heart muscles, and the process of calcium mobilization in cardiac muscle cells is highly investigated. Dysregulation in calcium handling, whether due to genetic mutations or other factors, can lead to arrhythmias and impair cardiac function. Fluorescent calcium indicators are used to monitor changes in intracellular calcium levels, allowing real-time visualization.
2X brighter dye than Fluo-4 for Superior Detection of Calcium Mobilization
FLUOFORTE® exhibits significantly brighter fluorescence intensity than Fluo-3 AM and Fluo-4 AM. U-2 OS cells were seeded overnight, growth medium was removed, and cells were incubated with 100 µL of FLUOFORTE® AM, Fluo-3 AM, or Fluo-4 AM in HHBS at 37 °C, 5% CO2 incubator for 1 hour. The cells were washed twice with 200 µL HHBS, and ATP (20 µL/well) was added to achieve concentrations of 200 nM with dye efflux inhibitor. Cells were then immediately imaged with a fluorescence microscope (Olympus IX71) using FITC channel.
Inflammation & Heart Disease
Chronic inflammation is recognized as a key contributor to the development of various cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease. Inflammatory processes can lead to the formation and progression of atherosclerotic plaques in blood vessels.

Standard curve showing that PGE2 ELISA Kit can detect as little as 8.26 pg/ml of protein
Mitochondria & Heart Failure
Mitochondria play a crucial role in the energy metabolism of cardiac cells, and their dysfunction has been implicated in heart failure. Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is a signaling molecule that is involved in various cellular processes, including regulating cardiac contractility, heart rate, and other processes. Medications like beta-adrenergic receptor blockers and phosphodiesterase inhibitors modulate cAMP levels.

Cell Therapy for Cardiovascular Disease
Cellular therapy has been often proposed as a critical approach to treat cardiovascular diseases. Stem cells, especially mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are explored as a regenerative approach for cardiovascular conditions. Cell-based cardiovascular therapy research and development aim to refine techniques, expand indications, and establish the long-term safety and efficacy of these treatments.
Biomarkers for Cardiovascular Diseases
Cardiac disease biomarkers play a crucial role in cardiovascular diagnosis, risk assessment, and in monitoring treatment response. 25(OH) Vitamin D, also known as calcidiol, plays a role in various physiological processes, including cardiovascular health. Recent studies suggested that lower levels of vitamin D may be associated with an increased risk of heart disease and hypertension.
