HGF modulates actin cytoskeleton remodeling and contraction in testicular myoid cells [PDF]
The presence of the HGF/Met system in the testicular myoid cells was first discovered by our group. However, the physiological role of this pathway remains poorly understood. We previously reported that HGF increases uPA secretion and TGF-β activation in

Murphy et al present an optimized co‐culture protocol for immortalized cell line vasculogenesis. Here, immortalized co‐cultures form reproducible microvessel networks across 31‐days, while gradient microchips enable simultaneous mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) adipogenesis and endothelial cell (EC) vasculogenesis.

Curcumin inhibits the ROS/NEK7‐NLRP3 inflammasome pathway by reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and disrupting the association of the NEK7‐NLRP3 complex. These combined effects of curcumin result in suppression of the GSDMD‐N pyroptotic pore formation and subsequent reduction of IL‐1β release.

The novel serine protease PreR-Co promotes endothelium-independent vasorelaxation in rabbit aortic rings [PDF]
The effect of a novel enzyme (PreR-Co) that activates renal prorenin was studied on rabbit aortas with and without endothelium. It was tested 1) in the basal tone of nonstimulated or ANG II-sensitized rings or rings precontracted with norepinephrine (NE),

Effect of aging on the development and progression of alcohol‐associated liver disease
Age is a predictor for alcohol‐associated liver disease (ALD)‐related mortality. This study investigates the effects of aging on the ethanol‐induced development and progression of ALD in rats. This study demonstrates that chronic ethanol feeding increased liver injury markers and hepatic triglycerides across all age groups.

Background and Purpose Autophagy is essential for cellular homeostasis, and its impairment contributes to cardiac hypertrophy. Modulating autophagy has shown potential in treating pathological hypertrophy. Prolylcarboxypeptidase (PRCP), a lysosomal enzyme that hydrolyzes angiotensin II to Ang1‐7, has an unclear role in cardiac autophagy and hypertrophy.

Effects of the P2RX4 antagonist BR11595 in a guinea pig model of chronic asthma
Abstract Background and Purpose Asthma is characterized by airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), allergic inflammation, and airway remodelling. Although recent studies have shown that asthma pathophysiology involves P2X4 receptor activation, a potential link with chronic asthma remains to be explored.
