Severe ADEM‐Like Neuroinflammatory Disease and Cerebrovascular Fragility With Recurrent Pseudoaneurysms and Moyamoya in a Familial Germline CBL Mutation: Expanding the Clinical Phenotype

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heterozygous germline variants in CBL disrupt its function as a negative regulator of the Ras/MAPK pathway, classically predisposing to Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) and moyamoya. We describe two affected siblings carrying a paternally inherited CBL variant (c.1210 T> C, p.

Roles and functions of Atp6ap2 in the brain

Neural Regeneration Research, 2018
The classical renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in the body has been studied intensively in the last decades, since it is known that this system is involved in the regulation of blood pressure.

Animal models of idiopathic membranous nephropathy: Recent advances and future perspectives

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the evolution of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) animal models from traditional approaches (Heymann nephritis, C‐BSA, APA) to antigen‐specific models (PLA2R, THSD7A), critically evaluating their advances and limitations in replicating human IMN pathology.

The 9+ month marathon: How pregnancy may have shaped human endurance capacities

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Anthropology has long considered the evolution of our uniquely human endurance capacities to be the result of selection upon anatomical and physiological features imposed by the demands of thermoregulation and resource acquisition, particularly during the demands of persistence hunting. Research has focused on the anatomical changes present in

Biochemical properties of renin and prorenin binding to the (pro)renin receptor [PDF]

Hypertension Research, 2009
The discovery of (pro)renin receptor, (P)RR, has made the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) more multifaceted. Interaction of renin and prorenin with this receptor has set a new perspective about the physiological functions, activation mechanism and pathophysiological roles of renin/prorenin.

Trends in 25 years of antihypertensive agent utilization in Croatia – an alert for scientific community and healthcare providers

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Hypertension is a leading modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular mortality worldwide. This study aimed to evaluate 25‐year trends in antihypertensive agent (AHA) utilization in Croatia between 2000 and 2024. Methods We conducted a national, population‐based analysis using IMS and IQVIA pharmaceutical databases.

Direct pro-inflammatory effects of prorenin on microglia.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Neuroinflammation has been implicated in hypertension, and microglia have been proposed to play an important role in the progression of this disease. Here, we have studied whether microglia are activated within cardiovascular regulatory area(s) of the ...

Blood pressure effects of SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists: Mechanisms, trial evidence and Real‐world data

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists modestly lower blood pressure across diverse patient populations, including those without diabetes. These effects appear largely independent of glycaemic control and offer additive value in high‐risk patients with overlapping comorbidities.

Possible therapeutic repositioning of valproic acid: From epileptic seizures to acute kidney injury

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Valproic acid, an anticonvulsant, may be repositioned to prevent acute kidney injury due to ischemia followed by reperfusion. It preserves renal functions, electrolyte homeostasis and active sodium transport in kidney tubules, and blocks the onset of hypertension.

Excessively low salt diet damages the heart through activation of cardiac (pro) renin receptor, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone, and sympatho-adrenal systems in spontaneously hypertensive rats. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
A high salt intake causes hypertension and leads to cardiovascular disease. Therefore, a low salt diet is now recommended to prevent hypertension and cardiovascular disease.
