Background and Purpose Atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease characterised by lipid accumulation and endothelial dysfunction, remains a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. While cannabinoid 2 (CB2) receptor agonists show therapeutic promise in preclinical studies, their systemic application is hindered by poor ...

Abstract Background and Purpose Kininase I, comprising carboxypeptidase N (CPN) and carboxypeptidase M, regulates kinin activity and is up‐regulated during injury, inflammation and immune activation. Under these conditions, kininase I converts bradykinin and kallidin into des‐Arg kinins, primary endogenous agonists of the bradykinin B1 receptor (R ...

MD‐1 is induced and activated in macrophages. The activated MD‐1 subsequently promotes the cGAS‐STING‐TBK1‐IRF3 signalling pathway to activate the NLRP3 inflammasome, and subsequently increases pro‐inflammatory macrophage polarisation and decreases plaque stability to accelerate the development of atherosclerosis.

Academic Achievement Test for Anatomy of the Neck: Validity and Reliability Analysis
ABSTRACT Objective Anatomy education remains a fundamental component of medical and dental curricula, and mastering neck anatomy is particularly challenging due to its structural complexity and clinical relevance. Despite its importance, there is a limited number of validated instruments specifically designed to assess academic achievement in neck ...

RLIM‐associated neurodevelopmental disorders: From clinical spectrum to molecular mechanisms
RLIM (RNF12) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase essential for mammalian development. Loss‐of‐function variants cause Tønne–Kalscheuer syndrome, while duplications cause Xq13 duplication syndrome, highlighting RLIM dosage sensitivity. This review summarizes the genetics, clinical features, and molecular mechanisms of RLIM‐associated disorders, integrating ...
