Mammalian Tolerance to Amino Acid Heterochirality
Organisms preferentially use l‐amino acids (l‐AAs). However, de novo synthesized l‐AAs are in part converted to d‐AAs. The ribosome has a robust system to use l‐AAs for protein synthesis, whereas non‐ribosomal synthesis can also use d‐AAs. Furthermore, some AA residues can be post‐translationally isomerized through enzymatic or spontaneous processes ...

Regulated Inositol‐Requiring Protein 1‐Dependent Decay as a Mechanism of Corin RNA and Protein Deficiency in Advanced Human Systolic Heart Failure [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The compensatory actions of the endogenous natriuretic peptide system require adequate processing of natriuretic peptide pro‐hormones into biologically active, carboxyl‐terminal fragments.

Epigenetic Changes Related to Hypertension in Asian Adults: A Systematic Review
PRISMA study flow diagram. ABSTRACT Background Elevated high blood pressure is controlled by complicated, little‐understood genetic and epigenetic pathways that are influenced by both heritable and environmental variables. Many adult systolic and diastolic blood pressure‐related genomic loci have been identified through previous genome‐wide association

Cenderitide-eluting film for potential cardiac patch applications.
Cenderitide, also known as CD-NP, is a designer peptide developed by combining native mammalian c-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) and the C-terminus isolated from the dendroapis natriuretic peptide (DNP) of the venom from the green mamba. In early studies,

NT -pro BNP as a Mediator of the Racial Difference in Incident Atrial Fibrillation and Heart Failure. [PDF]
Background Blacks harbor more cardiovascular risk factors than whites, but experience less atrial fibrillation ( AF ). Conversely, whites may have a lower risk of heart failure ( CHF ).

C2238/αANP modulates apolipoprotein E through Egr-1/miR199a in vascular smooth muscle cells in vitro [PDF]
Subjects carrying the T2238C ANP gene variant have a higher risk to suffer a stroke or myocardial infarction. The mechanisms through which T2238C/αANP exerts detrimental vascular effects need to be fully clarified.
