Canonical or non‐canonical, all aspects of G protein‐coupled receptor kinase 2 in heart failure
Abstract G protein‐coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) with its multidomain structure performs various crucial cellular functions under both normal and pathological conditions. Overexpression of GRK2 is linked to cardiovascular diseases, and its inhibition or deletion has been shown to be protective.

Thyroid Hormone as a Method of Reducing Damage to Donor Hearts after Circulatory Arrest [PDF]
There is a chronic lack of donor hearts to meet the need for heart transplant both in the US and worldwide. Further, the use of available hearts is limited by the short period between collection and implantation during which the heart can be safely ...

Normoxic cardiopulmonary bypass reduces oxidative myocardial damage and nitric oxide during cardiac operations in the adult [PDF]
Objective: Hyperoxic cardiopulmonary bypass is widely used during cardiac operations in the adult. This management may cause oxygenation injury induced by oxygen-derived free radicals and nitric oxide.

Eniluracil blocks AREG signalling‐induced pro‐inflammatory fibroblasts of melanoma in heart failure
Abstract Aims Heart failure (HF) is characterized by a heightened risk of melanoma, which often metastasizes to the heart. The overlap pathology between HF and melanoma includes chronic low‐grade inflammation and dysregulation of inflammatory cancer‐associated fibroblasts (iCAFs).

Topical use of antifibrinolytic agents reduces postoperative bleeding: a double-blind, prospective, randomized study [PDF]
Objective: Postoperative bleeding is still one of the most common complications of cardiac surgery. Antifibrinolytic agents successfully reduce bleeding, but there are controversies concerning adverse effects after their systemic use.

Unique pharmacological properties of etrasimod among S1P receptor modulators
Several S1P receptor modulators are being studied for treating immune‐mediated inflammatory diseases, each showing distinct selectivity and signaling activities. Downstream of S1P1, etrasimod showed similar potency to other S1P receptor modulators in promoting β‐arrestin recruitment and S1P1 internalization but was less potent in G protein activation ...
