Alamandine/MrgD pathway modulates gut–bone marrow axis in ageing
Abstract Background and Purpose Ageing is associated with colon epithelial barrier disruption and up‐regulation of myelopoiesis in the bone marrow (BM). Alamandine (Ala) and MrgD are novel members of the renin angiotensin system (RAS). This study tested the hypothesis that Ala restores the colon epithelial barrier integrity in ageing via modulating gut–

Dietary melatonin and its benefits on cardiovascular disease
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of mortality globally, with a disproportionate burden in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Melatonin, a hormone primarily produced by the pineal gland, exhibits notable antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties that may confer cardiovascular benefits.

There have been several step‐changes in asthma therapy, with the first being the use of inhaled short‐acting β2‐agonists as bronchodilators and the introduction of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) to reduce airway inflammation. The next revolution was the advent of inhaled combinations of long‐acting bronchodilators together with inhaled corticosteroids ...

NKX2-5 regulates vessel remodeling in scleroderma-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension
NKX2-5 is a member of the homeobox-containing transcription factors critical in regulating tissue differentiation in development. Here, we report a role for NKX2-5 in vascular smooth muscle cell phenotypic modulation in vitro and in vascular remodeling ...

Human iPSC‐Derived Vascularised Lung Organoids for Modelling COPD and Pulmonary Hypertension
Vascularised lung organoids (vLOs) that faithfully mimic human lung tissue architecture and disease pathology are critical for advancing pulmonary research but remain challenging to generate. Here, we developed a robust self‐organisation protocol to produce vLOs with cellular heterogeneity and functional vasculature. The engineered blood vessels within

We provide a description of human embryonic cerebral arterial development based on whole‐mount immunostaining, tissue clearing, three‐dimensional (3D) light‐sheet microscopy imaging, and anatomically informed virtual segmentation of human embryos. Findings are compared with adult radiological anatomy. We provide a detailed account of the development of
