Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 2017 Hypertension and diabetes are multifactorial diseases that frequently coexist and exacerbate each another. During the development of diabetes, the impairment of noradrenergic and renin-angiotensin systems has been reported in the response mediated by α1 ...

Understanding the Pathophysiology of COVID-19: Could the Contact System Be the Key?
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 To date the pathophysiology of COVID-19 remains unclear: this represents a factor determining the current lack of effective treatments. In this paper, we hypothesized a complex host response to SARS-CoV-2, with the Contact System (CS) playing a pivotal ...

Angiotensin Ii Receptor Blockers [PDF]
Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings, 2003 The ARBs have very similar clinical profiles. They do, however, have different pharmacokinetic profiles, which may lead to some differences in efficacy. The newer agents irbesartan, candesartan, telmisartan, and olmesartan have longer half-lives and durations of action than the older agents losartan and valsartan (5).

Angiotensin Type 2 Receptors: Painful, or Not?
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020 Pain in response to various types of acute injury can be a protective stimulus to prevent the organism from using the injured part and allow tissue repair and healing. On the other hand, neuropathic pain, defined as ‘pain caused by a lesion or disease of

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...
