Macrophage‐derived S100 calcium‐binding protein A9 (S100A9) promotes the pathological progression of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). S100A9 upregulates the interaction between signal‐transducing adaptor protein 2 and leucine‐rich repeat kinase 2, thereby regulating mitochondria–endoplasmic reticulum (ER) contact.

ABSTRACT One of the most serious complications associated with the use of the chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin (DOX) is cardiomyopathy. Although cardioprotective drugs such as angiotensin receptor‐neprilysin inhibitors (ARNI) are used to prevent cardiomyopathy in DOX patients, no studies have reported the relationship between ARNI and endoplasmic ...

Targeting Hypertensive Myocardial Fibrosis
In normal myocardium, myocytes represent only one-third of all cells, with the remaining two-thirds including fibroblasts and small cellular populations. While several weeks post partum the myocyte count stops increasing, the connective tissue cell count does not. In the early phases of arterial hypertension, adaptive left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy (
