Airway wall remodeling in asthma : novel mechanisms of human bronchial smooth muscle cells in the induction of angiogenesis [PDF]
Asthma is a global major health concern and it affects estimated 300 million people. The prevalence of asthma is rising and there is no cure for asthma, only the symptoms can be controlled.

Vascular Repair and Remodeling: A Review [PDF]
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) such as ischemic heart disease (IHD), stroke, and peripheral artery disease (PAS) are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity around the world: about 30% of global deaths and 10% of global disease burden a year are due

Erythropoietin attenuates pulmonary vascular remodeling in experimental pulmonary arterial hypertension through interplay between endothelial progenitor cells and heme-oxygenase [PDF]
BackgroundPulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a pulmonary vascular disease with a high mortality, characterized by typical angio-proliferative lesions. Erythropoietin (EPO) attenuates pulmonary vascular remodeling in PAH. We postulated that EPO acts

From remodeling to quiescence: The transformation of the vascular network
The vascular system is essential for embryogenesis, healing, and homeostasis. Dysfunction or deregulated blood vessel function contributes to multiple diseases, including diabetic retinopathy, cancer, hypertension, or vascular malformations.

Pericytes and Lung Vascular Remodeling. [PDF]
Pericytes are mural cells that line capillaries throughout the brain, retina, lung, and other organs, where they support capillary homeostasis through direct contact and paracrine crosstalk with capillary endothelium. Despite being described more than a century ago, their contributions to health and vascular diseases remain unclear,

ATP-dependent chromatosome remodeling [PDF]
Chromatin serves to package, protect and organize the complex eukaryotic genomes to assure their stable inheritance over many cell generations. At the same time, chromatin must be dynamic to allow continued use of DNA during a cell's lifetime.

Fetal-derived trophoblast use the apoptotic cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha-related apoptosis-inducing ligand to induce smooth muscle cell death. [PDF]
Remodeling of the uterine spiral arteries during pregnancy transforms them from high to low resistance vessels that lack vasoconstrictive properties. This process is essential to meet the demand for increased blood flow imposed by the growing fetus. Loss

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

The microbiome in human skin aging
Age‐related skin changes encompass the well‐known visible phenotypic alterations, together with microbiome dysbiosis and a series of molecular aging hallmarks. These hallmarks characterize not only a fully stablished aged phenotype but also the skin aging process itself.
