Mucus Release and Airway Constriction by TMEM16A May Worsen Pathology in Inflammatory Lung Disease [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Activation of the Ca2+ activated Cl− channel TMEM16A is proposed as a treatment in inflammatory airway disease. It is assumed that activation of TMEM16A will induce electrolyte secretion, and thus reduce airway mucus plugging and improve mucociliary clearance.

Constrictive pericarditis: a known pathology with a new aetiology [PDF]
Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2015 Pericardectomy remains the only available treatment for constrictive pericarditis. Historically idiopathic was the main aetiology for CP followed by TB. In recent years we have seen a change in the aetiology of CP with increasing PCI and surgical interventions.

Mitigation of cognitive decline and brain pathology after transaortic constriction by Mas agonists [PDF]
Alzheimer's & Dementia, 2021 AbstractBackgroundMas and A(1‐7), the endogenous ligand of Mas, were first characterized for their ability to counter regulate the pathological actions of A‐II and AT1R. A(1‐7) has been shown to decrease inflammation and OS and increase cerebral blood flow reactivity.
