Skeletal Muscle Mass Modifies the Prognostic Impact of LDL Cholesterol in Chronic Heart Failure
ABSTRACT Background Dyslipidaemia is among the major risk factors for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Paradoxically, higher cholesterol levels are associated with better survival in heart failure (HF) of any aetiology. Because cholesterol is an integral component of skeletal muscle structure, one possible explanation involves the interplay ...

Prevalence and pharmacologic management of familial hypercholesterolemia in an unselected contemporary cohort of patients with stable coronary artery disease [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an inherited disorder characterized by elevated plasma levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) associated with premature cardiovascular disease. METHODS: Using the data from the START

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Dyslipidemia is common in patients with MASLD, but the frequency and significance of inherited disorders of dyslipidemia are unclear. We investigated the prevalence and significance of pathogenic variants associated with selected monogenic disorders of dyslipidemia in 3358 patients with well‐characterised MASLD. Approach We

Marine biogenics in sea spray aerosols interact with the mTOR signaling pathway [PDF]
Sea spray aerosols (SSAs) have profound effects on our climate and ecosystems. They also contain microbiota and biogenic molecules which could affect human health. Yet the exposure and effects of SSAs on human health remain poorly studied.

Receptor‐Dependent and ‐Independent Effects of Hemin on Platelet Plasma Membrane Disintegration
Microhemorrhages lead to the release of erythrocytes, which are then degraded and lysed. These hemolyses result in the liberation of free iron‐containing hemin. Hemin induces platelet activation and ferroptosis. Inhibition of GPVI/CLEC‐2 receptor‐mediated ITAM‐signaling inhibits hemin‐induced platelet activation (low hemin concentrations). Deferoxamine,

ITM2B Truncation Promotes Migrasome Formation to Accelerate Renal Cell Carcinoma Growth
This study identifies truncated ITM2B as a regulator of migrasome formation in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cells. The ITM2B truncation not only facilitates migrasome formation by recruiting TSPAN4, but also sorts active caspase‐7 into migrasomes. The internalization of active caspase‐7‐enriched migrasomes by macrophages stimulates IL‐6 secretion to ...

Variations of the proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 gene in coronary artery disease
Objective Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the principal cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Studies have provided controversial results regarding whether variations in the proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 gene ( PCSK9 ) are risk ...
