Absence of cardiovascular manifestations in a haploinsufficient TGFBR1 mouse model [PDF]

, 2014
Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) is an autosomal dominant arterial aneurysm disease belonging to the spectrum of transforming growth factor beta (TGF beta)-associated vasculopathies. In its most typical form it is characterized by the presence of hypertelorism,

P3.11 INCREASED CAROTID PLAQUE OCCURRENCE IN MEN WITH THE FIBRILLIN-1 2–3 GENOTYPE

Artery Research, 2009
Background: Fibrillin-1 is an important constituent of the vascular wall and earlier studies have indicated an effect of the fibrillin-1 2–3 genotype on blood pressure as well as aortic stiffness.

Congenital ectopia lentis : diagnosis and treatment [PDF]

, 2012
Congenital ectopia lentis (EL) is an ocular condition, which typically causes a high grade of refractive errors, mainly myopia and astigmatism. These might be difficult to compensate for, especially in children, who might develop ametropic amblyopia ...

IL‐4/STAT6‐signaling Influences Local Inflammation and Regeneration Processes During Acute Pancreatitis and Promotes Fibrosis by a Direct Activation of Pancreatic Fibroblasts During Chronic Pancreatitis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
IL‐4/IL‐13/STAT6 signaling plays a crucial for the suppression of pro‐inflammation during acute pancreatitis and supports acinar cell regeneration but has only minor impact on fibrogenesis during chronic form of the disease. IL‐4/IL‐13 induce the expression of certain collagens directly in pancreatic fibroblasts via STAT6 activation, whereas ...
