Early‐stage 2K1C renovascular hypertension does not increase global MHC‐II or F4/80 abundance in the non‐clipped kidney but reveals focal F4/80+ induction

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The two‐kidney, one‐clip (2K1C) model produces renovascular hypertension. The effects on the clipped kidney (CK) are well described, while the non‐clipped kidney (NCK) is used as a model to evaluate the effects of high blood pressure. Although most of these effects have been described at later stages of 2K1C hypertension, it remains unclear ...

Computational modelling of cardiac fibroblast signalling reveals a key role for Ca2+ in driving atrial fibrillation‐associated fibrosis

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A pre‐existing fibroblast signalling model was enhanced by integrating atrial‐specific components and reactions linked to atrial fibrosis and atrial fibrillation (AF). The analysis highlights the central role of Ca2⁺ signalling in driving profibrotic responses to AF‐relevant stimuli, angiotensin‐II and transforming growth factor ...

Maternal protein restriction programs the ageing kidney: Proteomic signatures of early‐life origin renal and metabolic dysfunction

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Maternal protein restriction (MPR) induced persistent renal histopathological alterations accompanied by elevated serum creatinine levels. Nephron‐segment proteomic analysis revealed region‐specific molecular dysregulation affecting Bowman's capsule (PARK7, oxidative stress sensor; MSN, cytoskeletal organization), the proximal ...
