ABSTRACT Aims Hypertension remains one of the most prevalent and consequential modifiable cardiovascular risk factors worldwide, affecting approximately 1.28 billion adults globally and nearly half of the United States population. Despite the availability of effective therapies, optimal blood pressure control is achieved in fewer than one in four ...

Hypercortisolism: Causes, Consequences and Clinical Significance – A Review of Pathophysiology
ABSTRACT Hypercortisolism or Cushing syndrome is a heterogeneous clinical spectrum caused by chronic glucocorticoid excess, ranging from exogenous Cushing syndrome to rare endogenous aetiologies and the increasingly recognised entity of mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS). Physiological cortisol production is tightly regulated by the hypothalamic–

From hepatic to hematopoietic: LRH‐1's expanding cellular repertoire to the immune system
The nuclear receptor LRH‐1 is a well‐characterized regulator of endodermal tissue. Yet, increasing evidence indicates that LRH‐1, although expressed at low levels, is also a critical regulator of the hematopoietic system. LRH‐1 regulates the immune system by contributing to immune cell‐specific functions.

CYP11B2 immunohistochemistry identifies aldosterone‐producing nodules and enables objective subtyping using the B2 ratio (B2R), defined as the size ratio between the largest and second‐largest CYP11B2‐positive nodules. A B2R ≥8.1 indicates classical histology with a dominant lesion and high likelihood of cure, whereas B2R <8.1 reflects non‐classical ...

Over 50 different steroids, including precursors to other steroid hormones, are secreted by the adrenal glands, which are located directly above the kidneys. Aldosterone and hydrocortisone, however, are the two most significant hormonal steroids created by the adrenal cortex.

Aire and Fezf2 Shape the Medullary Thymic Epithelial Cell Immunopeptidome for Central Tolerance
Central tolerance is shaped not merely by promiscuous gene expression in medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs), but by the subset of self‐peptides ultimately presented on MHC class II molecules. We propose a multilayered framework in which AIRE/Aire and FEZF2/Fezf2, together with specialised differentiation programmes—including thymic mimetic‐cell ...

Proliferation of the term “emotion dysregulation” in child psychopathology parallels the growing interest in processes that influence negative emotional reactivity. While it commonly refers to a clinical phenotype where intense anger leads to behavioral dyscontrol, the term implies etiology because anything that is dysregulated requires an impaired ...

Systemic, Lifestyle and Environmental Modifying Factors in the Pathogenesis of Periodontitis
A variety of impacting factors in the pathogenesis of periodontitis exist, including systemic, lifestyle, and environmental factors. This review highlights the manifold mechanistic aspects of the link between the pathogenesis of periodontitis, addressing these numerous factors to supplement the long‐standing knowledge of the progression of the disease.
