A Missing Link Between a High Salt Intake and Blood Pressure Increase
.: It is widely accepted that a high sodium intake triggers blood pressure rise. However, only one-third of the normotensive subjects were reported to show salt-sensitivity in their blood pressure.

The effect of increasing the sulfation level of chondroitin sulfate on anticoagulant specific activity and activation of the kinin system. [PDF]
Oversulfated chondroitin sulfate (OSCS) was identified as a contaminant in certain heparin preparations as the cause of adverse reactions in patients. OSCS was found to possess both plasma anticoagulant activity and the ability to activate prekallikrein ...

Abstract Background and Purpose Kininase I, comprising carboxypeptidase N (CPN) and carboxypeptidase M, regulates kinin activity and is up‐regulated during injury, inflammation and immune activation. Under these conditions, kininase I converts bradykinin and kallidin into des‐Arg kinins, primary endogenous agonists of the bradykinin B1 receptor (R ...

ABSTRACT Background Garadacimab, a first‐in‐class, recombinant monoclonal antibody targeting activated FXII, is available in Germany for long‐term prophylaxis (LTP) of hereditary angioedema (HAE) since March 2025. We aimed to examine garadacimab real‐life treatment outcomes at our Berlin Angioedema Center of Reference and Excellence (ACARE), the ...

This study unveils an unrecognized pro‐inflammatory epitranscriptomic checkpoint in psoriasis. By installing m7G modifications on the 5′ UTR of Bdkrb1 mRNA, METTL1 enhances receptor stability to orchestrate keratinocyte‐driven neutrophil recruitment via p38 MAPK signaling.

Abstract Snake envenomation remains a critical global public health challenge. In Brazil, the genus Bothrops is responsible for most accidents, typically resulting in coagulopathy, hemorrhage, and renal failure. Despite its clinical prevalence, the molecular mechanisms driving plasma protein disturbances remain poorly understood.

ABSTRACT Hereditary angioedema (HAE) with C1 inhibitor deficiency is a rare disease characterized by unpredictable episodes of tissue swelling (angioedema), which, in most cases, occur first under the age of 18 years, and entail a significant burden of disease not only for the patients but also for their families.

Factor XII-Driven Inflammatory Reactions with Implications for Anaphylaxis
Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening allergic reaction. It is triggered by the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and mediators from mast cells and basophils in response to immunologic or non-immunologic mechanisms.

Patient‐derived expanded potential stem cell (EPSC) hepatocytes reveal that pathogenic SERPING1 variants cause distinct cellular defects in hereditary angioedema. While most mutations reduce SERPING1 transcription and C1‐INH secretion, a large deletion induces intracellular C1‐INH retention.
