Endowing Flexibility of Alveolar Type II Cells to Recapitulate Development From Lung Bud to Alveoli

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Adult human alveolar type 2 cells are chemically reprogrammed into expandable alveolar progenitor‐like cells that acquire bud tip‐like features during expansion and form organoids that mature into alveolar‐like structures. These organoids model influenza A virus infection and innate immune responses in vitro, while transplanted cells engraft ...

Angiotensin type-1 receptor autoantibodies promote alpha-synuclein aggregation in dopaminergic neurons

Frontiers in Immunology
Angiotensin, through its type-1 receptor (AT1), is a major inducer of inflammation and oxidative stress, contributing to several diseases. Autoimmune processes have been involved in neurodegeneration, including Parkinson’s disease (PD).

NS1‐Induced PARP1 Phase Transitions Prolongs Host Transcriptional Pausing to Promote Influenza A Virus Replication

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
After IAV infection, NS1 induces PARP1 phase transition, reducing molecular mobility in condensates, prolonging host transcriptional pause, aiding RdRp cap snatching, and promoting viral transcription. ABSTRACT Influenza A virus (IAV) commandeers host transcriptional machinery to replicate, but mechanisms remain elusive.

Preparation, Radiolabeling with ⁶⁸Ga/¹⁷⁷Lu and Preclinical Evaluation of Novel Angiotensin Peptide Analog: A New Class of Peptides for Breast Cancer Targeting

Pharmaceuticals, 2023
Aim: Angiotensin II (AngII) is known to play a significant part in the development of breast cancer by triggering cell propagation of breast cancer, tumor angiogenesis, and regulating tumor invasion and cell migration. AngII arbitrates its action via two

T‐Cell Remodeling in Renal Fibrosis: From Acute Injury to Chronic Kidney Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This Review presents renal fibrosis as a sequence of overlapping T‐cell programs, from chemokine‐guided recruitment and metabolic activation to maladaptive polarization, tertiary lymphoid structure formation, tissue residency, exhaustion, and senescence.

Chinese Expert Consensus on the Clinical Application of Finerenone in Geriatric Comorbidities

AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
Mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) overactivation drives inflammation, oxidative stress, and fibrosis in the heart, kidneys, and vasculature, leading to cardiorenal dysfunction. MR signaling promotes hypertrophy, remodeling, and injury through pathways like oxidative stress and inflammation, resulting in vascular stiffness and progressive organ damage ...

SDPR–STK38 axis controls the proliferation–differentiation balance in alveolar type II cells

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The present study identifies SDPR as a pivotal regulator orchestrating the balance between proliferation and differentiation in alveolar type II (AT2) cells. In SDPR+/+ cells, SDPR binds to and inhibits STK38 activity, thereby sustaining GSK‐3β signaling functionality to promote cyclin D1 degradation and maintain cell cycle homeostasis.

Hypertension in obesity: A focus on individualized pharmacotherapy and the role of body composition, on behalf of the European Society of Hypertension Working Group on Diabetes and Metabolic Risk Factors and Working Group on Lifestyle, Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy and Adherence

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Hypertension in obesity represents a major global health challenge, closely linked to the global epidemics of obesity, type 2 diabetes and metabolic dysfunction. Excess adiposity contributes to elevated blood pressure through multiple, interrelated mechanisms, including activation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system, sympathetic nervous system ...
