Plasmepsins as Antimalarial Drug Targets—Then, Now, and the Future

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malaria is a devastating disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. Plasmodium parasites express ten cathepsin D‐like aspartyl proteases, called plasmepsins (PMs). These PMs have diverse roles fulfill diverse functions throughout the parasite's lifecycle, though several exhibit functional redundancies. Among them, PMV, PMIV, and PMX are essential

Nephron specific ATP6AP2 knockout increases urinary excretion of fatty acids and decreases renal cortical megalin expression

Scientific Reports
ATP6AP2 knockout in the renal nephron impairs receptor-mediated endocytosis, increasing urinary albumin and glucose excretion and impairing weight gain. Nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) in urine are bound to albumin and reabsorbed in the proximal tubule ...

Renin inhibitor VTP-27999 differs from aliskiren: focus on their intracellular accumulation and the (pro) renin receptor

, 2014
Background:VTP-27999 is a renin inhibitor with an IC50 that is comparable to that of aliskiren, but with a higher bioavailability. Unexpectedly, VTP-27999, unlike aliskiren, did not unfold renin's precursor, prorenin, and increased the affinity of the ...

Interventions and Perinatal Outcomes Associated With Recipient Twin Cardiomyopathy in the Setting of Twin‐To‐Twin Transfusion Syndrome: A Systematic Review

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To determine (1) Whether the presence and severity of recipient twin cardiomyopathy in the setting of twin‐to‐twin transfusion syndrome are associated with worse perinatal outcomes when compared to recipient twins without evidence of cardiomyopathy and (2) The optimal management strategy to reduce the likelihood of adverse perinatal ...

Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma: Diagnosis and treatment

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
Vascular endothelial growth factor‐C (VEGF‐C)/vascular endothelial growth factor receptor‐3 (VEGFR‐3) and angiopoietin‐2 (Ang‐2)/tyrosine kinase with immunoglobulin‐like and EGF‐like domain 2 (TIE2) signaling pathways play an important role in lymphangiogenesis.

Uric Acid in Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
MASLD is the most prevalent chronic liver disease worldwide, yet effective pharmacological treatments remain limited. Hyperuricemia is now recognized as a key driver of hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis, with elevated serum uric acid levels independently predicting hepatocellular carcinoma and liver‐related mortality.
