How we measure 'reads'
A 'read' is counted each time someone views a publication summary (such as the title, abstract, and list of authors), clicks on a figure, or views or downloads the full-text. Learn more

Background
Abdominal adhesions (AAs) are post-traumatic fibrous bands that connect visceral and/or peritoneal surfaces, leading to possible long-term complications. The effect of a novel antifibrotic selective angiotensin II type 2 receptor agonist, compound 21 (C21) on AA formation was assessed in a murine model.
Methods
Female BALB/c mice were l...
Fibrotic remodelling of the atria is poorly understood and can be regulated by myocardial immune cell populations after injury. Mast cells are resident immune sentinel cells present in the heart that respond to tissue damage and have been linked to fibrosis in other settings. The role of cardiac mast cells in fibrotic remodelling in response to hum...
Background: Obesity is a risk factor that negatively impacts outcomes in patients undergoing heart surgery by mechanisms that are not well-defined nor predicated on BMI alone. This knowledge gap has fuelled a search for biomarkers associated with cardiovascular diseases that could provide clinical insight to surgeons. One such biomarker is growth d...
Background:
The objectives of the study were to characterize and quantify cellular inflammation and structural remodeling of human atria and correlate findings with molecular markers of inflammation and patient surrogate outcome.
Methods:
Voluntary participants undergoing heart surgery were enrolled in the study and blood samples were collected...
Mast cells (MC) are innate immune cells present in virtually all body tissues with key roles in allergic disease and host defense. MCs recognize damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) through expression of multiple receptors including Toll-like receptors and the IL-33 receptor ST2. MCs can be activated to degranulate and release pre-formed me...
Background
The characteristics of circulating inflammatory cells (leukocytes) in patients undergoing heart surgery remains poorly understood. Recently, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and specific monocyte subsets (based on CD14/CD16 expression) have been suggested as markers of inflammation and predictors of outcomes. The present study aims t...

Questions
Question (1)
Hi! I am having issues with FlowJo v.10.6.2 on my macbook pro running Mac OS Mojave v. 10.14.6. Typically I work with FlowJo v.10.6.2 on a PC but given the current pandemic circumstance I am home working on my own computer. For whatever reason when I edit the compensation matrix, the FACS plots don't automatically adjust to reflect the changes I make, even when I reapply the new compensation. I've been messing with it by doing large increases in compensation and nothing in the plot changes. I tried updating FlowJo and updating Jave but so far no success.
