An intracellular recombinant single‐chain variable antibody fragment as a new class of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) is a ubiquitous second messenger involved in human (patho‐)physiology. Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) is a major cGMP hydrolyzing enzyme in many cell types including vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Several highly selective PDE5 inhibitors are in clinical use. However, there are currently no

Phloroglucinol inhibits human ureteral contractions via activation of cAMP‐PKA pathway

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Phloroglucinol is used to treat renal colic, especially when non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs are contraindicated. This study aimed to clarify its mechanism by examining effects on human ureteral contractility and underlying signalling pathways. Experimental Approach Urinary levels of neurokinin A (NKA), substance P

Fast Injective Mesh Parameterization via Beltrami Coefficient Prolongation

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present a highly efficient and robust method for free boundary injective parameterization of disk‐like triangle meshes with low isometric distortion. Harmonic function–based approaches, grounded in a strong mathematical framework, are widely employed.

Non‐Rigid 3D Shape Correspondences: From Foundations to Open Challenges and Opportunities

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Estimating correspondences between deformed shape instances is a long‐standing problem in computer graphics; numerous applications, from texture transfer to statistical modelling, rely on recovering an accurate correspondence map. Many methods have thus been proposed to tackle this challenging problem from varying perspectives, depending on ...
