This real‐world observational study enrolled 256 patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease (T2D‐CKD). After 12 months of finerenone treatment, 45 patients completed follow‐up. Finerenone was associated with significant improvements in insulin resistance markers (HOMA‐IR, TyG index), lipid profile (LDL‐C), glycemic control (HbA1c), and ...

Menopause and vascular endothelial health: Is it all about the oestrogen?
Abstract Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of mortality in women, and CVD risk is accelerated during the menopause transition. This acceleration has traditionally been attributed to the hallmark decline in oestradiol with menopause. However, the menopause transition is also characterized by changes in other sex hormones that exert effects

Abstract Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) inhibitors are effective antiangiogenic agents used in cancer therapy. However, they are associated with cardiovascular disease, including hypertension and vascular dysfunction. The molecular mechanisms underlying these cardiovascular toxicities are unclear, but oxidative stress might be ...

Abstract Passive hyperthermia increases net peripheral and systemic blood flow in humans and other animals, yet the underlying haemodynamic forces that selectively accelerate blood movement remain incompletely characterized. Wave intensity analysis offers insight into the respective contributions of the heart and the vascular system to changes in blood

TMEM16A channel signalling microdomains in the regulation of vascular function
Abstract figure legend Schematic representation of TMEM16A channel signalling microdomains. Calcium influx or calcium release from the endoplasmic/sarcoplasmic reticulum (ER/SR) activates TMEM16A channels through interactions with regulatory proteins in vascular smooth muscle cells or endothelial cells. TMEM16A channel activation drives chloride efflux,

Calcium‐activated chloride channels in pericytes and their role in regulating organ blood flow
Abstract figure legend Pericytes are microvascular mural cells with diverse roles. Contractile pericytes directly regulate local perfusion, while non‐contractile pericytes coordinate upstream vascular contractility via propagating electrical signals.

14‐3‐3 proteins: Regulators of cardiac excitation–contraction coupling and stress responses
Abstract figure legend 14‐3‐3 protein interactions in cardiac regulation. Schematic representation of 14‐3‐3 binding partners in excitation–contraction coupling, transcriptional regulation/development and stress response pathways. Asterisks indicate targets where the exact 14‐3‐3 binding site is unknown.
