Some Aspects of the Renin-Angiotensin-System in Hemodialysis Patients
Understanding of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has changed remarkably over the past decade. Renin, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), angiotensin II (Ang II), and Ang II receptors are the main components of the RAS.

Adult Comorbidity Evaluation 27 score as a predictor of survival in endometrial cancer patients [PDF]
BACKGROUND The incidence of endometrial cancer increases with age and is associated with medical comorbidities such as obesity and diabetes. While a few cohort studies of less than 500 patients showed an association between comorbidity and survival in ...

Revealing the structure of land plant photosystem II: the journey from negative‐stain EM to cryo‐EM
Advances in cryo‐EM have revealed the detailed structure of Photosystem II, a key protein complex driving photosynthesis. This review traces the journey from early low‐resolution images to high‐resolution models, highlighting how these discoveries deepen our understanding of light harvesting and energy conversion in plants.

Angiotensin II formation in the human heart: an ACE or non-ACE-mediated pathway?
The enzymatic pathways for local angiotensin II (Ang II) formation in the heart have been studied both in vivo and in vitro, but the results of these experiments have been discrepant. Thus, the experiments in vivo with intact hearts, both in humans and in animal models, have unequivocally demonstrated that the major Ang II-forming enzyme is angiotensin-

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Organoids in pediatric cancer research
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.
