HSP70 governs permeability and mechanotransduction in primary human endothelial cells
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.HSP70 chemical inhibition reduces endothelial cell proliferation and increases permeability, the latter supported by normal interendothelial junctional protein distribution. HSP70 also plays a role in shear stress response, a hemodynamic force naturally present in blood vessels and correlated with vessel protection.

DDX3X induces mesenchymal transition of endothelial cells by disrupting BMPR2 signaling
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Elevated DDX3X expression led to downregulation of BMPR2, a key regulator of endothelial homeostasis and function. Our co‐immunoprecipitation assays further demonstrated a molecular interaction between DDX3X and BMPR2. Notably, DDX3X promoted lysosomal degradation of BMPR2, thereby impairing its downstream signaling and facilitating endothelial‐to ...

The Associations Between Chronic Active Lesions and White Matter Disease: A 7 Tesla Imaging Study
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background The relationship between paramagnetic rim lesions (PRLs) and surrounding normally appearing white matter (NAWM) disease, potentially contributory to the associations seen between PRLs and clinical impairment, is underexplored. Objectives To assess whether PRLs correlate with a greater degree of NAWM injury in early MS.

Comparison between screening for primary aldosteronism with and without drug adjustment
Blood PressureObjective Few studies have evaluated the performance of non-drug-adjusted primary aldosteronism (PA) screening. Therefore, we aimed to examine the consistency between PA screening results with and without drug adjustment and to explore the effectiveness ...
