Increased Disarray of Extracellular Matrix Collagen‐I Fiber Network and Compromised Biomechanics in Aortae From Marfan‐Syndrome Mice Assessed Through Combined Opto‐Biomechatronics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Combined structure‐function assessment in aortic rings from Marfan mice using MechaMorph Opto‐Biomechatronics technology relates increased elasticity (stiffness) and dynamic viscosity and less ordered extracellular matrix 3D‐structure (collagen) as potential causes for impaired Windkessel function and compromised haemodynamics in Marfan's syndrome ...

11β-HSD Types 1 and 2 in the Songbird Brain

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018
Glucocorticoid (GC) hormones act on the brain to regulate diverse functions, from behavior and homeostasis to the activity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis.

Drug Repurposing for Treating NCOR‐Related Intellectual Disability

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An autism‐associated NCOR1 heterozygous mutation upregulates NRGs and activates NRG backward signaling in hypothalamic GABAergic neurons in mouse models, leading to Gabra2 downregulation and cognitive deficits, which can be therapeutically targeted by repurposing FDA‐approved drugs.

Evaluation of a low‐dose desoxycorticosterone pivalate treatment protocol for long‐term management of dogs with primary hypoadrenocorticism

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2019
Background Lowering the dose of desoxycorticosterone pivalate (DOCP) for the treatment of dogs with primary hypoadrenocorticism (PH) decreases costs and could lead to increased owner motivation to treat their affected dogs.

A Novel NR3C1 Frameshift Variant Associated With Familial Glucocorticoid Resistance Syndrome: An Integrated Analysis of Steroid Profiling and Structural Modeling

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glucocorticoid resistance syndrome (GRS) is a rare hereditary disorder caused by pathogenic variants in NR3C1, characterized by marked phenotypic heterogeneity and frequent misdiagnosis as primary aldosteronism or subclinical Cushing's syndrome.

Hypertension in obesity: A focus on individualized pharmacotherapy and the role of body composition, on behalf of the European Society of Hypertension Working Group on Diabetes and Metabolic Risk Factors and Working Group on Lifestyle, Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy and Adherence

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Hypertension in obesity represents a major global health challenge, closely linked to the global epidemics of obesity, type 2 diabetes and metabolic dysfunction. Excess adiposity contributes to elevated blood pressure through multiple, interrelated mechanisms, including activation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system, sympathetic nervous system ...

The Cardiac Mineralocorticoid Receptor (MR): A Therapeutic Target Against Ventricular Arrhythmias

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
Mineralocorticoid antagonists have been shown to be useful in the treatment of severe heart failure and may even save lives in this context. However, the reason for the beneficial action of these drugs, as well as the physiological role played by the ...

How developmental stressors affect mitochondrial respiratory function: a systematic review and meta‐analysis

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The environmental conditions organisms experience during early development can have powerful and sustained effects on morphology, physiology, behaviour, and performance. Such developmental effects can influence reproductive success, survival, and life‐history strategies and can be transmitted across generations (i.e.

Therapeutic Potential of Mineralocorticoid Receptors in Skeletal Muscle Aging

Receptors
Skeletal muscle aging, or sarcopenia, involves progressive muscle mass and function loss, which limits mobility and independence in elderly populations.

Cytoskeleton–Membrane Uncoupling in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: Implications for Newborn Screening and Early Protection

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The cytoskeleton of striated muscle integrates force transmission, mechanotransduction, and sarcolemmal stability through coordinated networks of sarcomeres, costameres, and intermediate filaments. Together, these systems establish mechanical continuity between the contractile apparatus, the sarcolemma, and the extracellular matrix.
