Differential involvement of hippocampal angiotensin 1 receptors in learning and memory processes in bulbectomized rats [PDF]
There is conflicting evidence regarding the effect of AT1 receptor antagonists on learning and memory processes. The effects of angiotensin II and losartan administration into CA1 hippocampal area on the avoidance performance in olfactory bulbectomized ...

The accessory renal arteries: A systematic review with meta‐analysis
Abstract The accessory renal arteries (ARAs) are a well‐described variant of the renal vasculature with clinical implications for radiologists, surgeons, and clinicians. The aim of the present systematic review with meta‐analysis was to estimate the pooled prevalence of ARAs, including their variant number, origin, and termination, and to highlight ...

Cardiorenal Syndrome: Diagnosis and Treatment
In the diagnosis of cardiorenal syndrome (CRS), the biological markers are widely used, they can be applied to identify the pathophysiological stages of CRS, to assess the amount of risk, prognosis and outcome, as well as to monitor the effectiveness of ...

Scalable Production of Highly-Sensitive Nanosensors Based on Graphene Functionalized with a Designed G Protein-Coupled Receptor [PDF]
We have developed a novel, all-electronic biosensor for opioids that consists of an engineered mu opioid receptor protein, with high binding affinity for opioids, chemically bonded to a graphene field-effect transistor to read out ligand binding. A variant of the receptor protein that provided chemical recognition was computationally redesigned to ...

Downregulation of thromboxane A2 and angiotensin II type 1 receptors associated with aging-related decrease in internal anal sphincter tone. [PDF]
Aging-associated decrease in internal anal sphincter (IAS) tone (AADI) is a major contributor in the rectoanal incontinence (RI). To determine the pathogenesis of AADI, we investigated the effect of aging on GPCR activation and related downstream ...

Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptors: do they have a therapeutic potential in cardiac fibrosis? [PDF]
Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive lipid that is characterized by a peculiar mechanism of action. In fact, S1P, which is produced inside the cell, can act as an intracellular mediator, whereas after its export outside the cell, it can act as ...

Neutrophils in cancer: At the crucial crossroads of anti‐tumor and pro‐tumor
Abstract Neutrophils are important components of the immune system and play a key role in defending against pathogenic infections and responding to inflammatory cues, including cancer. Their dysregulation indicates potential disease risk factors. However, their functional importance in disease progression has often been underestimated due to their ...

Mutations strengthened SARS-CoV-2 infectivity [PDF]
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infectivity is a major concern in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) prevention and economic reopening. However, rigorous determination of SARS-COV-2 infectivity is essentially impossible owing to its continuous evolution with over 13752 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) variants in six ...

Effect of short time captopril administration on spatial memory in aging rats [PDF]
Introduction: The brain renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been reported having a pathological role in age-related impairment in learning and memory. Therefore, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) are expected to have positive ef fects on ...
