Cardiovascular risk factors, global cardiovascular risk, and vascular age in a cohort of Peruvian HIV patients

HIV & AIDS Review. International Journal of HIV-Related Problems
Introduction Data on cardiovascular risk and vascular age in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) from developing countries are scarce. Therefore, the current study aimed to determine the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors, global ...

Health Disparities in COVID-19: Addressing the Role of Social Determinants of Health in Immune System Dysfunction to Turn the Tide

Frontiers in Public Health, 2020
It is evident that health disparities exist during the COVID-19 pandemic, a pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Underlying reasons for COVID-19 health disparities are multi-factorial.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Social media and use of electronic nicotine delivery systems among school-going adolescents in a rural distressed Appalachian community

Preventive Medicine Reports, 2022
Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) are the most used tobacco products among middle and high schoolers in the United States (U.S.). Familial relations and access play a major role in uptake among adolescents; yet the role of social media in this ...

Hypopituitarism and Cardiovascular Risk

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology and Therapeutics
Hypopituitarism, resulting from a partial or complete deficiency of anterior or posterior pituitary hormones, is associated with increased cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality. This heterogeneous endocrinological disorder may arise from various etiologies, including genetic mutations, pituitary tumors, traumatic brain injury, and autoimmune ...

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

An epithelial GPR35 isoform supports tumor‐associated transcriptional and metabolic phenotypes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
GPR35 generates two functionally distinct isoforms with previously unresolved roles. GPR35‐short mediates immune‐cell chemotaxis, while GPR35‐long is enriched in colorectal cancer epithelium, where it supports increased metabolism, proliferation, and tumor‐associated transcriptional programs.

Longitudinal circulating tumor DNA profiling in patients with advanced endometrial cancer using an off‐the‐shelf targeted NGS panel

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Intratumour heterogeneity complicates precision management of advanced endometrial cancer. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) offers a minimally invasive strategy to capture tumor evolution and therapeutic resistance. Here, we compare tumor‐agnostic NGS with tumor‐informed ddPCR, outlining their relative sensitivity, concordance, and clinical implications ...

Identifying transcription factors controlling the basal expression of human MRP4 highlights a substantial role for Sp1

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The MRP4 transporter exports several drugs and signaling molecules. Here, we identified key promoter elements regulating basal MRP4 expression. Using reporter assays, we defined a conserved region with essential Sp1 and contributory Ets sites, which controlled basal MRP4 expression.

Electronic Cigarettes and Cardiovascular Risk: Caution Waiting for Evidence

European Cardiology Review, 2019
Electronic cigarettes use is a growing trend in contemporary societies, with the propensity to compete with traditional tobacco smoking. Some preclinical studies demonstrated the toxic and detrimental effects of electronic cigarettes liquid components ...
