Olmesartan potentiates the anti-angiogenic effect of sorafenib in mice bearing Ehrlich's ascites carcinoma: role of angiotensin (1-7). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Local renin-angiotensin systems exist in various malignant tumor tissues; this suggests that the main effector peptide, angiotensin II, could act as a key factor in tumor growth.

SENP3 Drives Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Development by Regulating Ferroptosis via De‐SUMOylation of CTH

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, it is proposed that SENP3 accumulates in macrophages of aneurysmal aortic tissues, which promotes macrophage ferroptosis and inflammation via regulation of CTH de‐SUMOylation. Abstract Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a high‐risk inflammatory disorder. SENP3, a SUMO2/3‐specific protease, is closely involved in the development of cancer.

Communication over the network of binary switches regulates the activation of A$_{2A}$ adenosine receptor [PDF]

PLoS Comp. Biol. (2015) 11(2): e1004044, 2014
Dynamics and functions of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are accurately regulated by the type of ligands that bind to the orthosteric or allosteric binding sites. To glean the structural and dynamical origin of ligand-dependent modulation of GPCR activity, we performed total $\sim$ 5 $\mu$sec molecular dynamics simulations of A$_{2A}$ adenosine ...

Engineering the Immune Response to Biomaterials

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This paper reviews immune responses to biomaterials, stages of evolution in relation to managing these responses ranging from preventing to modulating them. It also discusses state‐of‐the‐art strategies to modulate these responses and modes of their delivery.

Predictors and morphological properties of culprit healed plaques in patients with angina pectoris

Clinical Cardiology, Volume 45, Issue 12, Page 1199-1210, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Plaque healing may serve a vital function in the natural progression of atherosclerotic disease. This study sought to investigate predictors and morphological characteristics of healed plaque (HP) among angina pectoris (AP) patients.

The angiotensin II receptors type 1 and 2 modulate astrocytes and their crosstalk with microglia and neurons in an in vitro model of ischemic stroke

BMC Neuroscience
Background Astrocytes are the most abundant cell type of the central nervous system and are fundamentally involved in homeostasis, neuroprotection, and synaptic plasticity.

Vessel‐On‐A‐Chip Coupled Proteomics Reveal Pressure‐Overload‐Induced Vascular Remodeling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A vessel‐on‐a‐chip system is developed to replicate both physiological and pathological vessel cyclic stretches. Proteomic analysis reveals pressure‐overload‐induced vascular remodeling, including cellular response to mechanical cues, cellular oxidative stresses, ER stress, and ceramide biosynthesis activation in the vessel‐on‐a‐chip system, well ...

Analysis of Receiver Covered by Heterogeneous Receptors in Molecular Communications [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
This paper analyzes the channel impulse response of an absorbing receiver (RX) covered by multiple non-overlapping heterogeneous receptors with different sizes and arbitrary locations in a molecular communication system. In this system, a point transmitter (TX) is assumed to be uniformly located on a virtual sphere at a fixed distance from the RX ...
