Vessel‐On‐A‐Chip Coupled Proteomics Reveal Pressure‐Overload‐Induced Vascular Remodeling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A vessel‐on‐a‐chip system is developed to replicate both physiological and pathological vessel cyclic stretches. Proteomic analysis reveals pressure‐overload‐induced vascular remodeling, including cellular response to mechanical cues, cellular oxidative stresses, ER stress, and ceramide biosynthesis activation in the vessel‐on‐a‐chip system, well ...

The modelling of COVID19 pathways sheds light on mechanisms, opportunities and on controversial interpretations of medical treatments. v2 [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
The new coronavirus (2019-nCoV or SARS-CoV2), inducing the current pandemic disease (COVID-19) and causing pneumoniae in humans, is dramatically increasing in epidemic scale since its first appearance in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. The first infection from epidemic coronaviruses in 2003 fostered the spread of an overwhelming amount of related ...

Persistent topological Laplacian analysis of SARS-CoV-2 variants [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Topological data analysis (TDA) is an emerging field in mathematics and data science. Its central technique, persistent homology, has had tremendous success in many science and engineering disciplines. However, persistent homology has limitations, including its incapability of describing the homotopic shape evolution of data during filtration ...

IRF8 Drives Conventional Type 1 Dendritic Cell Differentiation and CD8+ T Cell Activation to Aggravate Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Development

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study highlights the critical role of IRF8 in the development of AAA. IRF8 activation promotes the differentiation of cDC1s, which in turn recruit and activate CD8+ T cells, contributing to aortic wall degradation. The study identifies the IRF8‐cDC1‐CD8+ T cell axis as a key pathway in AAA progression, offering new potential therapeutic targets to

Predictors and morphological properties of culprit healed plaques in patients with angina pectoris

Clinical Cardiology, Volume 45, Issue 12, Page 1199-1210, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Plaque healing may serve a vital function in the natural progression of atherosclerotic disease. This study sought to investigate predictors and morphological characteristics of healed plaque (HP) among angina pectoris (AP) patients.

Structural determinants for binding to angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and angiotensin receptors

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2015
Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a zinc carboxypeptidase involved in the renin angiotensin system (RAS) and inactivates the potent vasopressive peptide angiotensin II (Ang II) by removing the C-terminal phenylalanine residue to yield Ang1-7 ...

Mutations strengthened SARS-CoV-2 infectivity [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infectivity is a major concern in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) prevention and economic reopening. However, rigorous determination of SARS-COV-2 infectivity is essentially impossible owing to its continuous evolution with over 13752 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) variants in six ...

Clinical dichotomania: A major cause of over-diagnosis and over-treatment? [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Introduction: There have been many warnings that inappropriate dichotomisation of results into positive or negative, high, or normal etc., during medical research could be very damaging. The aim of this paper is to argue that this is the main cause of over-diagnosis and over-treatment.

Decoding Blastocystis‐Driven Mechanisms in Gut Microbiota and Host Metabolism

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Blastocystis, a prevalent gut microbe, interacts with the host through metabolic and immune pathways, influencing cardiometabolic health. This perspective explores its role in modulating short‐chain fatty acid production, tryptophan metabolism, and immune signaling, potentially impacting cholesterol absorption, glucose metabolism, and vascular health ...
