Background and Purpose Atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease characterised by lipid accumulation and endothelial dysfunction, remains a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. While cannabinoid 2 (CB2) receptor agonists show therapeutic promise in preclinical studies, their systemic application is hindered by poor ...

Cerebral Ventriculomegaly With Abnormality of the Aqueduct of Sylvius: A Case Series
Genetic testing leads to a diagnostic rate of ~30% in a fetal cohort with cerebral ventriculomegaly where the neuropathological examination revealed a stenosis or atresia of the aqueduct of Sylvius. ABSTRACT Fetal cerebral ventriculomegalies are brain anomalies with potentially poor neurodevelopmental prognosis.

Aortic aneurysm: aortic arch aneurysm
Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is defined as aneurysmal degeneration that occurs in the thoracic aorta. The incidence of TAA is increasing with improvements in screening, as well as advances in imaging. They are often asymptomatic but in some cases, they

ABSTRACT Background Higher von Willebrand factor (VWF) levels and lower ADAMTS13 activity are linked to increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, but their association with atherosclerosis burden, a potential underlying mechanism, remains unclear.

Sclerostin (SOST) is a multifunctional extracellular modulator of BMP and Wnt signaling. SOST binds with high affinity to fibrillin‐1 and fibrillin‐2, localizing it to fibrillin microfibrils and regulating its extracellular bioavailability. Fibrillin‐bound SOST cannot engage BMP‐7 prodomain (PD) complexes, revealing a competitive mechanism that ...

RLIM‐associated neurodevelopmental disorders: From clinical spectrum to molecular mechanisms
RLIM (RNF12) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase essential for mammalian development. Loss‐of‐function variants cause Tønne–Kalscheuer syndrome, while duplications cause Xq13 duplication syndrome, highlighting RLIM dosage sensitivity. This review summarizes the genetics, clinical features, and molecular mechanisms of RLIM‐associated disorders, integrating ...

Background Right aortic arch (RAA) is a common congenital aortic arch abnormality. Fetuses with RAA frequently have good outcomes after birth. However, chromosomal abnormalities and genetic syndromes suggest poor prognosis for these patients.

Cyclin‐dependent kinase 13 is indispensable for normal mouse heart development
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common defect in live births. The role of cyclin‐dependent kinase (CDK13) in cardiogenesis and CHD was studied using a transgenic mouse model (Cdk13tm1b) carrying deletion of exons 3 and 4, causing loss of function.
