Evidence for biased agonists and antagonists at the endothelin receptors
Biased ligands represent a new strategy for the development of more effective and better tolerated drugs. To date there has been a paucity of research exploring the potential of ligands that exhibit either G protein or β-arrestin pathway selectivity at the endothelin receptors.

Pharmacotherapy for Cirrhosis in Japan
As cirrhosis progresses from the compensated to the decompensated stage, liver disease‐related events such as varices, ascites, encephalopathy, sarcopenia, jaundice, and bleeding tendency, as well as liver carcinogenesis, can occur at a high rate. With the advent of new pharmacotherapies for cirrhosis in the last decade, liver fibrosis has been shown ...

Endothelin receptor antagonists in pulmonary arterial hypertension
Endothelin receptor antagonism has emerged as an important therapeutic strategy in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Laboratory and clinical investigations have clearly shown that endothelin (ET)-1 is overexpressed in several forms of pulmonary vascular disease and likely plays a significant pathogenetic role in the development and progression of ...

Aerospace medicine required controlled terrestrial models to investigate influences of altered atmosphere conditions, such as hypoxia, on human health and performance. These models could potentially be expanded to encompass disease conditions or treatment targets regulated through hypoxia or hypercapnia.
