Vascular Injury After Whole Thoracic X-Ray Irradiation in the Rat [PDF]

, 2009
Purpose To study vascular injury after whole thoracic irradiation with single sublethal doses of X-rays in the rat and to develop markers that might predict the severity of injury.

Species–area relationships in continuous vegetation : evidence from Palaearctic grasslands [PDF]

, 2019
Aim: Species-area relationships (SARs) are fundamental scaling laws in ecology although their shape is still disputed. At larger areas power laws best represent SARs.

Overview of molecular signatures of senescence and associated resources: pros and cons

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Cells can enter a stress response state termed cellular senescence that is involved in various diseases and aging. Detecting these cells is challenging due to the lack of universal biomarkers. This review presents the current state of senescence identification, from biomarkers to molecular signatures, compares tools and approaches, and highlights ...

Casz1 and Znf101/Zfp961 differentially regulate apolipoproteins A1 and B, alter plasma lipoproteins, and reduce atherosclerosis

JCI Insight
High apolipoprotein B–containing (apoB-containing) low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) and low apoA1–containing high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) are associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases.

Dietary nitrate and nitrite protect against doxorubicin‐induced cardiac fibrosis and oxidative protein damage in tumor‐bearing mice

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Chemotherapies such as doxorubicin can have toxic effects on healthy cardiovascular/heart tissue. Following up on a doxorubicin toxicity study in mice without tumors where nitrate water was cardioprotective (lessened toxicity), this study with tumor‐bearing mice undergoing doxorubicin treatment showed no negative effect of nitrate and nitrite on drug ...

IRF5 governs macrophage adventitial infiltration to fuel abdominal aortic aneurysm formation

JCI Insight
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the expansion of the aortic wall. One of the most significant features is the infiltration of macrophages in the adventitia, which drives vasculature remodeling.

Diabetes‐induced vascular calcification is associated with low pyrophosphate and its oral supplementation prevents calcification in diabetic mice

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Induction of diabetes in three different mouse strains uniformly resulted in an increase in TNAP activity and a reduction in pyrophosphate (PPi) in the circulation. Inhibition of TNAP restored plasma PPi. Diabetes‐induced calcification in the media layer of the aorta was detected only in the Abcc6−/− strain, which is predisposed to ectopic ...

Intimomedial tears of the aorta heal by smooth muscle cell–mediated fibrosis without atherosclerosis

JCI Insight
BACKGROUND Disease of the aorta varies from atherosclerosis to aneurysms, with complications including rupture, dissection, and poorly characterized limited tears.

Characterization of peroxidase and catalase genes in defense mechanisms of Physcomitrella patens [PDF]

, 2019
Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) and the hypersensitive response (HR) are two important induced defense mechanisms in plants. SAR is the development of an enhanced resistance to a pathogen due to a prior encounter.

Branching principles of animal and plant networks identified by combining extensive data, machine learning, and modeling

, 2020
Branching in vascular networks and in overall organismic form is one of the most common and ancient features of multicellular plants, fungi, and animals.
