Exploring multi-omics and clinical characteristics linked to accelerated biological aging in Asian women of reproductive age: insights from the S-PRESTO study

Genome Medicine
Background Phenotypic age (PhenoAge), a widely used marker of biological aging, has been shown to be a robust predictor of all-cause mortality and morbidity in different populations.

Calpeptin Reduces Extracellular Vesicle Secretion and Induces Anti‐Inflammatory Effects but Upregulates HO‐1 and Alters Adiponectin Levels in Human Adipocytes

Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 5, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent studies have shown that adipose tissue (AT) secretes elevated levels of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in obesity, and these EVs play roles in metabolic diseases. The inhibition of calpains has anti‐inflammatory and anti‐fibrotic effects on AT in mice and reduces EV secretion in some cell types in vitro.

Systematic Analysis of Plasma‐Derived Extracellular Vesicle‐Enriched Samples in Age‐Related Macular Degeneration Reveals Oxidative Stress Linked to Altered Lipid and Protein Profiles

Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 5, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Vision impairment caused by age‐related macular degeneration (AMD) is a global health priority. Retinal pathology is driven by ageing and exacerbated by genetic and environmental risk factors. Peripheral blood circulation is increasingly recognised as a contributor to disease initiation and progression, and a source of biomarkers to support ...

Proteomic Remodeling in the Failing Left Ventricle Adapting to Dyssynchrony

PROTEOMICS – Clinical Applications, Volume 20, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose In heart failure, dyssynchrony is associated with accelerated cardiac remodeling and a worse prognosis. Both restored with resynchronization. We have previously developed a mouse model of dyssynchrony and resynchronization and here assess changes in protein expression within that model.

Complement factor H-related proteins CFHR2 and CFHR5 represent novel ligands for the infection-associated CRASP proteins of Borrelia burgdorferi [PDF]

, 2010
Background: One virulence property of Borrelia burgdorferi is its resistance to innate immunity, in particular to complement-mediated killing. Serum-resistant B.

Crystal structure of liganded and unliganded forms of bovine plasma retinol-binding protein

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1993
The three-dimensional structures of bovine plasma retinol-binding protein (bRBP) complexed with retinol (space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), a = 46.08, b = 49.12, c = 76.10 A) and of the unliganded protein prepared in vitro by extracting retinol with ethyl ether (space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), a = 46.55, b = 48.97, c = 76.87 A) have been solved at 1.9 and 1.7 A ...

Urotensin II Receptor Deletion Mitigates Kidney Injury and Renal Lipid Remodeling in Mice Fed a Long‐Term High‐Fat Diet

FASEB BioAdvances, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.
Urotensin II receptor deletion mitigates high‐fat diet‐induced kidney injury and renal lipid remodeling. Male wild‐type (WT) and urotensin II receptor–knockout (UT KO) mice were fed a high‐fat diet (HFD; 60% kcal from fat) for 33 weeks. In cultured mouse podocytes, urotensin II (UII)–UT signaling enhanced transient receptor potential canonical 6 (TRPC6)

Vitamin A and thyroxine carrier proteins in chicken plasma Steady-state control of the plasma level of free retinol-binding protein and free thyroxine

, 1978
1. 1. The binding parameters of prealbumin-2 with retinol-binding protein and thyroxine (T4) revealed the existence of distinct and multiple sites for both retinol-binding protein and T4. 2. 2.

Pharmacological activation of NO‐cGMP signalling attenuates metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatohepatitis

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 18, Page 5476-5495, September 2026.
Background and Purpose Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is linked to activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) to α‐smooth muscle actin–positive myofibroblasts that produce collagen and proinflammatory cytokines. Quiescent HSCs express the NO‐cGMP signalling axis.
