A Randomized Trial to Investigate the Effects of Low‐Dose Colchicine in Patients with Hypertension: Rationale and Design of the COlchicine and HypERtENsion Trial (COHERENT)

open access: yesThe Journal of Clinical Hypertension, Volume 28, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Hypertension is a prevalent and significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The immune system and inflammatory response are involved in the pathophysiology of hypertension. We hypothesize that treating hypertension with colchicine on top of standard therapy, will decrease pulse wave velocity (PWV), left ventricular mass, cardiac ...

IL‐17RA/RC blockade modulates the fibrinolytic system and MMP activity in bleomycin‐induced pulmonary fibrosis in male mice

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 12, June 2026.
Abstract Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal interstitial lung disease with excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) components, which leads to disrupted lung architecture and respiratory failure. Interleukin (IL)‐17 signaling induces fibrosis through inflammation; however, specific roles of its receptors IL‐1RA and IL‐17RC in ...
