Hyperaldosteronism in the Pathophysiology and Management of Cardiovascular‐Kidney‐Metabolic Syndrome

open access: yesDiabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 7, Page 5463-5475, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Cardiovascular‐kidney‐metabolic (CKM) syndrome is defined by the pathologic interconnections between obesity, diabetes, chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease. An important and underrecognized pathophysiologic factor underlying CKM syndrome is obesity‐induced aldosterone excess.

Interactions between small leucine‐rich proteoglycans and proteases: implications for tissue homeostasis and pathology

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 13, Page 3848-3864, July 2026.
Small leucine‐rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) are key modulators of extracellular matrix structure and signaling. Their proteolytic processing by MMPs (Matrix Metalloproteinases), ADAMTS (disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin motifs), and serine proteases generates bioactive fragments that regulate collagen remodeling, inflammation, and ...

Proteolytic remodelling of the extracellular matrix by pericytes

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 13, Page 3899-3953, July 2026.
Pericytes are specialised perivascular cells intimately connected with endothelial cells and essential for the maintenance of vascular beds. They contribute to the formation and remodelling of the extracellular matrix by actively secreting proteases and protease inhibitors.

Cellular Dynamics of Transgenic Porcine Endothelial Cells to Inflammatory Stimuli in Xenotransplantation Settings

open access: yesXenotransplantation, Volume 33, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Inflammatory responses have been shown to contribute significantly to the rejection of grafts in both allo‐ and xenotransplantation. In particular, they play a pivotal role in promoting endothelial activation, complement deposition, and thrombosis, thereby compromising the graft function.
