Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by cardiovascular risk excess not fully explained by traditional factors. Whether the severity of microvascular damage correlates with structural subclinical atherosclerosis remains unclear. We investigated the relationship between nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) abnormalities and carotid ...

Efficacy of Combined Bevacizumab and Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors or Angiotensin II type 1 Receptor Blockers in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Patients [PDF]
Middle East Journal of CancerBackground: Bevacizumab, used in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), has an angiogenesis inhibitory effect. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) and angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockers (ARBs) used in the treatment of ...

Journal of Atherosclerosis and Thrombosis, 2007 Cardiovascular events associated with hypertension often involve thrombosis. Increased platelet activity is one of the risk factors of cardiovascular diseases. Antithrombotic properties of antihypertensive agents are not fully characterized. Angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockers (ARBs) are widely used for the treatment of hypertension.

Early Retinal UCHL1 Dysregulation Coupled With Synaptic Loss Reflects Alzheimer's Disease Severity
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study identifies synapse‐enriched deubiquitinase UCHL1 as an early Aβ‐responsive regulator of retinal synaptopathy in Alzheimer's disease. Retinal UCHL1 loss accompanies excitatory synapse degeneration, p75NTR activation, and neuroinflammation, and predicts Braak stage and cognitive decline. Aβ42 fibrils trigger synaptic and UCHL1 depletion before

Angiotensin II inhibitor facilitates epidermal wound regeneration in diabetic mice
Frontiers in Physiology, 2015 Tissue regeneration and wound healing are severely impaired in diabetes and are associated with poor circulation and dysfunctional blood vessels. Angiotensin II inhibitors are anti-hypertensive drugs used in clinical practice to regulate blood pressure ...

Pilot study of losartan for pulmonary hypertension in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. [PDF]
, 2005 BACKGROUND: Morbidity in COPD results from a combination of factors including hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension, in part due to pulmonary vascular remodelling. Animal studies suggest a role of angiotensin II and acute studies in man concur.

A Generative Neuro‐Symbolic AI for Protein Sequence Design
Advanced Science, EarlyView.We introduce EffieDes, a neuro‐symbolic framework coupling deep learning‐based fitness landscape parameterization with exact automated reasoning. Unlike greedy sampling, EffieDes identifies sequences that globally optimize fitness while satisfying intricate design constraints.

Beneficial effects of the activation of the angiotensin-(1-7) MAS receptor in a murine model of adriamycin-induced nephropathy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Angiotensin-(1-7) [Ang-(1-7)] is a biologically active heptapeptide that may counterbalance the physiological actions of angiotensin II (Ang II) within the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Here, we evaluated whether activation of the Mas receptor with the

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Klotho deficiency promotes podocyte mitochondrial dysfunction and ferroptosis through activation of the PKCα/CUX1/SPARC/TGFβ‐RII axis. SPARC emerges as a key mediator linking Klotho loss to podocyte injury in DKD and other kidney injury models, suggesting broader implications for CKD progression.
