Renin-Angiotensin System [PDF]
New England Journal of Medicine, 1975 ALTHOUGH the names of Tigerstedt and Bergman1 are associated with the first description in 1898 of renin extracted from the kidney, it may come as a surprise that when Tigerstedt, who was the senior worker in the partnership and the Professor of Physiology in the Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, died, there was no mention of renin in the various ...

Porcine kidney xenotransplantation: From primate models to clinical reality
Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.In the face of a critical shortage of human donor kidneys for end‐stage renal disease patients, porcine kidney xenotransplantation has emerged as a viable solution. This field has navigated major hurdles, including immune rejection, physiological incompatibilities, potential biomechanical differences and the risk of cross‐species infection. To overcome

Humanized immune system animal models and their recent applications
Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.In this review, we provide an updated and comprehensive overview of the current state of humanized immune system animal model research. We discuss the variety of techniques used to produce humanized mice with their respective strengths and weaknesses, and evaluate the advantages and limitations of these models, including issues with incomplete immune ...

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.In this study, we primarily simulated pathological myocardial remodeling induced by transverse aortic constriction surgery and found significant cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis, characterized by deteriorated cardiac function. Oxidative stress response is considered as a pivotal pathological process, which contributes to inflammation and apoptosis of ...

Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Is Characterized by a Distinct Proteomic Profile
Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.Objectives The pathophysiology of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is poorly understood and disease‐specific biomarkers are lacking. We aimed to shed light on IIH pathophysiology and identify disease‐specific biomarkers. Methods This prospective cross‐sectional cohort study included patients with new‐onset IIH and age‐, body mass index‐, and ...

Revista Cubana de Investigaciones Biomédicas, 2020 Introduction: Iron is an essential metal for cellular homeostasis participating in important physiological processes. Concentrations of this metal in the organism need to be rigorously regulated, because the deficiency and excess of this metal cause ...

The 9+ month marathon: How pregnancy may have shaped human endurance capacities
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Anthropology has long considered the evolution of our uniquely human endurance capacities to be the result of selection upon anatomical and physiological features imposed by the demands of thermoregulation and resource acquisition, particularly during the demands of persistence hunting. Research has focused on the anatomical changes present in
