Beyond Simple Mimicry: Next‐Generation Geometric Architectures and Future Paradigms in Small‐Molecule and Macrocyclic Peptidomimetics

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Peptide‐to‐Small Molecule Paradigm: Peptidomimetics have evolved from simple mimicry toward drug‐like scaffolds supported by increasing clinical successes. This Perspective highlights the geometric design principles—linear repetition, convergent fusion, and cyclization—defining the next‐generation peptidomimetic architectures capable of targeting ...

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in the Era of Targeted Therapy: The Role of Cardiac Myosin Inhibitors, Contemporary Sudden Cardiac Death Risk Stratification, and the Importance of Differential Diagnosis — A Narrative Review

Journal of Education, Health and Sport
Introduction and purpose: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common genetic myocardial disease characterized by unexplained left ventricular hypertrophy, phenotypic heterogeneity, and a clinical course ranging from asymptomatic presentation to heart

Enhancing Maturation of Human Neuromuscular Organoids via Electrical Stimulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A framework for on‐demand and non‐invasive exposure of human neuromuscular organoids (NMOs) to electrical stimuli is established to promote their maturation. The robustness and effectiveness of different stimulation regimes are evaluated via thorough characterization of organoid tissue structure and contraction capacity. Chronic electrical stimulation,

A myosin inhibitor impairs auxin-induced cell division

Protoplasma, 2003
The role of myosins for auxin-induced cell division was probed using the inhibitor 2,3-butanedione monoxime in the tobacco cell line VBI-0, where cell elongation and division are axially aligned under the control of auxin. A morphometric analysis revealed that cell division is blocked in a dose-dependent manner, whereas cell expansion continued.

BIN1 and ALDH1B1 Deficiency in Colonic Smooth Muscle Drives Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Fibrosis in Slow‐Transit Constipation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Slow‐transit constipation (STC) is a disabling motility disorder with unclear smooth‐muscle mechanisms. Spatial proteomic analysis of STC patient colon reveals both the central pathogenic role of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in STC and novel regulators of intestinal motility, BIN1 and ALDH1B1.

Protein Kinase C Inhibitors as Modulators of Vascular Function and Their Application in Vascular Disease

Pharmaceuticals, 2013
Blood pressure (BP) is regulated by multiple neuronal, hormonal, renal and vascular control mechanisms. Changes in signaling mechanisms in the endothelium, vascular smooth muscle (VSM) and extracellular matrix cause alterations in vascular tone and blood

Lactation is Associated with Accelerated Postpartum Pelvic Floor Muscle Recovery in a Pregnant Simulated Birth Injury Model

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Healthy pelvic floor muscles (PFMs) are essential for proper pelvic floor function. The biggest risk factor for PFM dysfunction is injury sustained during vaginal childbirth, yet the factors that facilitate or impair PFM recovery from birth injury remain unknown.

Cholesterol‐Mediated Metabolic‐mechanotransductive Crosstalk Orchestrates Castration Resistance in Prostate Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Full androgen deprivation (FAD) induces paracrine cholesterol in prostate cancer that drives the polarization of cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and subsequent elevated matrix stiffness. Matrix stiffness in turn potentiates tumor cell survival under FAD pressure via dual mechanotransductive activation of the IRE1α‐XBP1s stress‐response axis ...
