The Life of a Kidney Podocyte

open access: yesActa Physiologica, Volume 241, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Podocytes, highly specialized epithelial cells located in the glomerulus of the kidney, are essential to the filtration barrier that ensures separation of blood and urine. These cells exhibit a unique architecture, characterized by an intricate network of foot processes interconnected by slit diaphragms, which serve as a critical selective

Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction in Ischaemic Heart Disease: Lessons From Large Animal Models

open access: yesBasic &Clinical Pharmacology &Toxicology, Volume 137, Issue 2, August 2025.
ABSTRACT The coronary microvasculature is principally responsible for matching coronary blood flow to myocardial demand of oxygen and nutrients. Short‐term control of coronary blood flow is achieved via alterations in coronary microvascular tone, whereas long‐term control of coronary flow also involves remodelling of the coronary microvasculature ...

The Multiple Roles of Myelin Protein Genes During the Development of the Oligodendrocyte

open access: yesASN Neuro, 2009
It has become clear that the products of several of the earliest identified myelin protein genes perform functions that extend beyond the myelin sheath. Interestingly, these myelin proteins, which comprise proteolipid protein, 2′, 3′-cyclic nucleotide 3′-

Proteomic associations with fluctuation and long‐term changes in BMI: A 40‐year follow‐up study

open access: yesDiabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 27, Issue 8, Page 4192-4202, August 2025.
Abstract Introduction While some studies have explored associations between weight change and blood proteins, most have been intervention‐based, offering limited insight into proteomic associations with long‐term weight gain. It remains unclear whether plasma proteins are related to BMI fluctuation over time.

Future options for disease intervention: important advances in phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitors

open access: yesEuropean Respiratory Review, 2007
Current drug treatments for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) focus on managing symptoms of the disease and include short- and long-acting beta2-agonists, anticholinergic agents (ipratroprium, tiotropium), methylxanthines (theophylline) and ...
