A Review on Current Challenges and Knowledge Gaps in Artificial Stone Silicosis

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The global emergence of artificial stone (AS) silicosis represents a critical occupational health challenge. The aim of this systematic review is to provide an overview of the clinical, functional, radiological, and occupational characteristics of patients affected by AS silicosis at the time of diagnosis, and to identify current ...

Modulation of the renin-angiotensin system against COVID-19: A path forward?

International Journal of Infectious Diseases
Soon after the pandemic outbreak in 2020, it was proposed that binding of SARS-CoV-2 to the angiotensin converting enzyme-2 may explain most of COVID-19’s manifestations.

Allosteric Modulation of β-Arrestin-biased Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Signaling by Membrane Stretch*

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2014
Background: AT1Rs function as mechanosensors to activate β-arrestin-dependent signaling. Results: Osmotic stretch induces active conformations of the AT1R and β-arrestin2 that are exclusively stabilized by β-arrestin-biased agonists. Conclusion: Membrane

A Novel NR3C1 Frameshift Variant Associated With Familial Glucocorticoid Resistance Syndrome: An Integrated Analysis of Steroid Profiling and Structural Modeling

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glucocorticoid resistance syndrome (GRS) is a rare hereditary disorder caused by pathogenic variants in NR3C1, characterized by marked phenotypic heterogeneity and frequent misdiagnosis as primary aldosteronism or subclinical Cushing's syndrome.

Differential β-arrestin2 requirements for constitutive and agonist-induced internalization of the CB1 cannabinoid receptor [PDF]

, 2013
CB1 cannabinoid receptor (CB1R) undergoes both constitutive and agonist-induced internalization, but the underlying mechanisms of these processes and the role of beta-arrestins in the regulation of CB1R function are not completely understood.

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

Cytokine Pathways Driving Diverse Tissue Pathologies in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex systemic disorder characterized primarily by articular inflammation and destruction with associated functional loss and reduced quality of life. RA is also associated with extra‐articular disease, such as that of the lung, with potentially devastating clinical consequences. The critical importance of comorbidities,

Expert Perspectives: Defining and Managing Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis in Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Systemic sclerosis–associated interstitial lung disease (SSc‐ILD) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in SSc, affecting up to three‐quarters of patients. The disease course is highly heterogeneous, ranging from indolent, nonprogressive forms to rapidly progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF).

Molecular-genetic assessment of angiotensin-converting enzyme hyperactivity determinancy risk at hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome [PDF]

Саратовский научно-медицинский журнал, 2010
The research aimed to explore the changes of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) blood activity and polymorphism of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor gene as disease predictor at hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). In exami¬nation 409 patients

Post-Transcriptional Control of Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Regulates Osteosarcoma Cell Death

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2018
Background/Aims: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an essential role in the tumorigenesis of osteosarcoma (OS). However, the effects of miR-1248 on chemo-resistant potential of OS have not been studied. Here, we addressed this question.
