Lack of PCSK6 Increases Flow-Mediated Outward Arterial Remodeling in Mice
Proprotein convertases (PCSKs) process matrix metalloproteases and cytokines, but their function in the vasculature is largely unknown. Previously, we demonstrated upregulation of PCSK6 in atherosclerotic plaques from symptomatic patients, localization ...

Abstract Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant public health challenge in Australia, affecting ~10% of the adult population and contributing to substantial morbidity and mortality. Diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and CKD frequently co‐exist; therefore, a multidisciplinary approach is necessary to manage these ...

Furin‐mediated protein processing in infectious diseases and cancer
Proteolytic cleavage regulates numerous processes in health and disease. One key player is the ubiquitously expressed serine protease furin, which cleaves a plethora of proteins at polybasic recognition motifs.

Influence of organic solvents on the furin activity
Furin belongs to a family of calcium-dependent serine proprotein convertases, which transform the inactive protein precursors into mature polypeptides.

Abstract Current literature on the metabolic effects of long‐distance hiking is limited to case studies with discrepant findings, and no prior studies have examined the role of diet in shaping these outcomes. In this study, we investigated changes in lipid profiles and dietary factors among 12 participants who completed the Colorado Trail.

Variant Prioritization by Pedigree‐Based Haplotyping
ABSTRACT Whole genome sequence (WGS) data provides opportunities for comprehensive evaluation of variants that may influence complex traits. However, prioritizing the large number of variants, particularly those in non‐coding regions, is a challenge.

BRICHOS interactions with amyloid proteins and implications for Alzheimer disease [PDF]
To date, about 30 diseases, in which amyloid fibrils form extracellular deposits, have been identified in humans. It is not known if the fibrils have a function, like storage of misfolded proteins, or if they just reflect failure of the cell to manage ...
