Biomarkers of lung congestion and injury in acute heart failure
Abstract Acute heart failure (AHF) classification and management are primarily based on lung congestion and/or hypoperfusion. The quantification of the vascular and tissue lung damage is not standard practice though biomarkers of lung injury may play a relevant role in this context.

Abstract The immune system has long been recognized as a key driver in the progression of heart failure (HF). However, clinical trials targeting immune effectors have consistently failed to improve patient outcome across different HF aetiologies. The activation of the immune system in HF is complex, involving a broad network of pro‐inflammatory and ...

WONOEP XVII appraisal: The role of the extracellular matrix in epilepsy
Abstract The extracellular matrix (ECM) is composed of proteoglycans and glycoproteins that regulate the external environment surrounding neurons, glia, and the vascular system. The ECM is vital for maintaining the structure and function of the brain and also acts as a reservoir for various signaling molecules and neurotransmitters, modulating synaptic

Proteomic signatures of equine dental tooth tissues in ageing and disease
Abstract Background Ageing and dental disease in horses lead to structural and functional deterioration of dental tissues, yet their molecular signatures remain poorly characterised. Understanding how these processes alter the protein composition of enamel, dentin, cementum and pulp is essential for improving equine oral health and identifying ...
