Two former research students in Jean Hardwick's lab were co-authors on a manuscript published in the American Journal of Physiology in July.  In addition, Jean Hardwick had another paper, based on research performed with collaborators at ETSU and UCLA, accepted for publication in the American Journal of Physiology. 

The paper describing the research performed at IC with students is entitled "Angiotensin receptors alter myocardial infarction-induced remodeling of the guinea pig cardiac plexus" and describes research designed to better understand the effects of the circulating hormone, angiotensin II, on the cells of the autonomic nervous system following a myocardial infarction.

The second paper, entitled "Vagus nerve stimulation mitigates intrinsic cardiac neuronal and adverse myocyte remodeling post myocardial infarction" describes collaborative work done with investigators at East Tennesse State University and UCLA.  This study examined a potential therapeutic treatment, following myocardial infarction, to reduce negative symptoms.
