Abstract Aims Right ventricular (RV) remodelling, a progressive condition characterized by maladaptive cardiac structural and functional changes, primarily results from prolonged pressure overload in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). Accurate, universal and easy‐to‐use biomarkers for assessing the severity of RV remodelling are lacking.

Abstract Aims Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a complex syndrome accounting for half of heart failure cases. Although natriuretic peptides are the most accepted and extensively used biomarkers for heart failure, their diagnostic accuracy for HFpEF remains debatable.

Combined TRPC3 and TRPC6 blockade by selective small-molecule or genetic deletion inhibits pathological cardiac hypertrophy [PDF]
Chronic neurohormonal and mechanical stresses are central fea-tures of heart disease. Increasing evidence supports a role forthe transient receptor potential canonical channels TRPC3 andTRPC6 in this pathophysiology.

The effects of lectins on hydra (Hydra japonica) were investi-gated in order to clarify the mechanics of its feeding response. Concanavalin agglutinin (Con A) induced rapid and prolonged tentacle contractions, but did not induce marked contractions of the body column.

Myocardial ketone body oxidation contributes to empagliflozin‐induced improvements in cardiac contractility. Abstract Aims Sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) improve cardiac performance and clinical outcomes in patients with heart failure, yet mechanisms underlying these beneficial effects remain incompletely understood.

Study of plant lectins anti-tumor action on glioma cells of different stages of anaplasia
A direct cytotoxity effect of lectins: soybean (SBA), laburnum anagyroides agglutinin (LABA), peanut agglutinin (PNA), wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), lentil lectin (LCL), mistletoe lectin (Mil) on the glioma cells of different stages of ...

Induction of IL 2 receptor expression and cytotoxicity of thymocytes by stimulation with TCF1 [PDF]
We investigated the role of T cell cytotoxicity inducing factor 1 (TCF1) in the induction of a cytotoxic T cell response. We found that help-deficient thymocyte cultures supplied with saturating amounts of purified IL 2 did not develop CTL in a 5-day ...

FGB1 and WSC3 are in planta-induced beta-glucan-binding fungal lectins with different functions
In the root endophyte Serendipita indica, several lectin-like members of the expanded multigene family of WSC proteins are transcriptionally induced in planta and are potentially involved in beta-glucan remodeling at the fungal cell wall.

What's New? Our research highlights how tumor sialylation affects tumor growth and reshapes the immune tumor microenvironment in colorectal cancer. We demonstrate for the first time that complete removal of sialic acids from colorectal tumor cells elicits a robust anti‐tumor immune response, but does not enhance anti‐PD‐L1 blockade efficacy.
