Targeting acetylated high mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1) and toll‐like receptor (TLR4) interaction to alleviate hypertension and neuroinflammation in fructose‐fed rats

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Our previous study reported that fructose intake increased systemic blood pressure and reduced nitric oxide (NO) in the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) due to oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. However, it remains unclear how reactive oxygen species (ROS) reduce NO and how this process impacts neuroinflammation in ...

Advancing antihypertensive drug development

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Hypertension affects more than a billion individuals worldwide and remains a major cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Despite advances in therapies, optimal blood pressure control remains elusive for many patients because of treatment resistance, adverse effects, and adherence challenges.

Opioid receptors in cardiovascular function

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Opioid receptors are G protein‐coupled receptors expressed by various cells in the heart, including myocytes and nerve fibres, and play a crucial role in modulating cardiac function. These receptors influence neural transmission, heart rate and myocyte contractility, offering cardioprotection.

Advances in the Study of Pluripotent Stem Cells in Livestock

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Livestock pluripotent stem cells include embryonic stem cells (ESCs) isolated from the inner cell mass of blastocysts and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from somatic cell reprogramming. They hold significant potential for applications in livestock breed improvement, rapid propagation, human disease modelling and human organ ...

Macrophage Efferocytosis as a Therapeutic Strategy in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Macrophages, integral to degenerated intervertebral discs, play a critical role in disc degeneration. By performing efferocytosis, they clear apoptotic cells. This article explores the process of efferocytosis, its molecular mechanisms, potential therapeutic implications for intervertebral disc degeneration and future strategies for targeted treatments.

Role of Histone Deacetylase and Inhibitors in Cardiovascular Diseases

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
HDACs play an important role in the occurrence and development of cardiovascular diseases, such as myocardial hypertrophy, hypertension, and atherosclerosis. HDAC inhibitors have broad prospects for the treatment of CVD, and different HDAC subtypes can act through different mechanisms.

Macrophages and autophagy: partners in crime

The FEBS Journal, Volume 292, Issue 12, Page 2957-2972, June 2025.
Autophagy is a key regulator of macrophage function, influencing critical processes like polarization, cytokine secretion, and phagocytosis. Its impact on macrophage behavior varies across different tissues and disease contexts, where it can either promote protective responses or contribute to detrimental outcomes, depending on the physiological or ...

Fatty‐acid amide hydrolase inhibition mitigates Alzheimer's disease progression in mouse models of amyloidosis

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Enhancing endocannabinoid signaling by targeting FAAH effectively mitigates cognitive deficits, reduces amyloid pathology, and modulates neuroinflammatory responses in a preclinical model of Alzheimer's disease. This effect is potentially mediated by attenuating the Aβ‐induced overexpression of the Bace1 gene through CB1‐dependent hypermethylation of ...

DmdA‐independent lag phase shortening in Phaeobacter inhibens bacteria under stress conditions

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The lag phase is crucial for resuming bacterial growth and can be shortened by fueling the methionine cycle with methyl groups from DMSP or other methylated compounds. While DmdA is the primary DMSP demethylase in Phaeobacter inhibens, stress activates additional enzymes like Bmt. This enzymatic flexibility allows bacteria to exit the lag phase rapidly,
