Blood Pressure and Obesity [PDF]

Circulation, 1959
Previous surveys have shown that height of observed blood pressure and degree of overweight are related. However, excess weight does not necessarily mean excess fat and the possibility of error in the measurement of blood pressure due to variations in the size of the arm has not been excluded.

Soluble RAGEs and cardiovascular risk factors in adult offspring of patients with premature coronary heart disease

Blood Pressure, 2020
Purpose: Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are a heterogeneous group of highly oxidant compounds which can potentiate microvascular and macrovascular complications through the formation of irreversible cross-links between molecules in the basal ...

Hydrostatic pressure activates HIF‐1α via β‐catenin to promote stemness in breast cancer cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
To mimic the elevated intestinal fluid pressure in breast cancers, we loaded human breast cancer cells (MCF‐7, MDA‐MB‐453, and BT‐474) to 50 mmHg hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure exposure upregulated HIF‐1α and induced stemness in MCF‐7 and BT‐474 cells.

Molecular characterization of covRS mutations in M1UK Streptococcus pyogenes

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Group A Streptococcus (GAS) acquires covRS mutations driving a hypervirulent bacterial state, frequently associated with invasive disease‐like necrotizing fasciitis. We demonstrate that the newly emerged M1UK GAS lineage can also acquire these mutations.

Hypertension evaluation and management in new young patients: are we doing our female patients a disservice?

Blood Pressure
Purpose Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of death in women, largely underpinned by hypertension. Current guidelines recommend first-line therapy with a RAAS-blocking agent especially in young people. There are well documented sex

A randomized cross-over study on the blood pressure lowering effect of the combined passive head-up and -down movement with Device-Guided slow breathing

Blood Pressure, 2019
Purpose: Baroreflex emerges as a therapeutic target of hypertension. We investigated blood pressure (BP) lowering effect of the combined passive head-up and -down movement with device-guided slow breathing in untreated mild hypertension or high-normal BP.

From energy provision to protein synthesis: Tunnelling nanotubes as mediators of intercellular metabolic cooperation in cancer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.
