Diabetic kidney disease, biomarkers, and finerenone
Abstract Diabetic kidney disease (DKD), the leading cause of kidney failure worldwide, is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). A complex pathobiology involving hemodynamic, metabolic, and immune dysregulation promotes inflammatory and fibrotic pathways that contribute to kidney disease progression and CVD in individuals ...

The endothelin system in pulmonary and renal vasculopathy: les liaisons dangereuses
Endothelial cells regulate vascular tone largely by the actions of endothelin-1. Endothelin-1 is a potent vasoconstrictor, with effects that are dependent on the receptors to which it binds as well as their location.

A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular

Pulmonary arterial hypertension outcomes upon endothelin-1 receptor antagonist switch to macitentan [PDF]
Objectives: To assess whether switching patients with suboptimally controlled pulmonary arterial hypertension from bosentan or ambrisentan to macitentan would improve six-minute walk test (6MWT) distance and World Health Organization functional class ...

Sacubitril/Valsartan (Sac/Val) alleviates fibrosis and inflammation in metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatohepatitis (MASH). Its anti‐fibrotic effect is linked to the suppression of Integrin alpha 8 (Itga8), a protein crucial for hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation and collagen production.

ABSTRACT Background and Aim Anti–vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agents are widely used for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); inhibition of VEGF‐mediated liver regeneration may compromise hepatic reserve. We investigated the impact of anti‐VEGF therapy on liver function and risk factors for deterioration of albumin–bilirubin (ALBI) score during

Cyclin‐dependent kinase 13 is indispensable for normal mouse heart development
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common defect in live births. The role of cyclin‐dependent kinase (CDK13) in cardiogenesis and CHD was studied using a transgenic mouse model (Cdk13tm1b) carrying deletion of exons 3 and 4, causing loss of function.
