Vascular smooth muscle cell mechanotransduction: Pathways, phenotypes and emerging technologies
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Vascular smooth muscle cells are exposed to mechanical stimuli from the blood flow and the extracellular matrix. The cells sense the signals from cyclic stretch, shear stress, hydrostatic pressure and matrix stiffness through specialized mechanosensors, such as mechanosensitive ion channels or cell surface receptors including ...

Natural History of Chronic Kidney Disease in Sickle Cell Disease
American Journal of Hematology, Volume 101, Issue 7, Page 1456-1477, July 2026.ABSTRACT Kidney complications, referred to as nephropathy, develop early in sickle cell disease (SCD). In addition to its known morbidity, abundant data show that chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with an increased mortality risk in SCD. Increasing evidence suggests that the natural history of SCD nephropathy is progressive. Initial glomerular

Chiral (Stereoselective) Drugs, Asymmetric Synthesis, and Racemic Resolution Methods
Chirality, Volume 38, Issue 7, July 2026.Chirality is crucial in drug development since both biological targets in the organism and the majority of pharmaceutical compounds are chiral. The synthesis and resolution of chiral compounds are critical steps while developing chiral drugs. Asymmetric synthesis and racemic resolution are the two most common methods for obtaining enantiopure drugs ...

Understanding pre‐eclampsia and fetal growth restriction at high altitude: A narrative review
International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 174, Issue 1, Page 62-69, July 2026.Abstract Pre‐eclampsia (PE) and fetal growth restriction (FGR) are among the leading causes of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Both conditions are more frequent and severe at high altitudes due to physiological changes in oxygen availability and vascular adaptation.
