POSTN‐CCL3 signaling forms a feed‐forward circuit between cardiomyocytes and cardiac myofibroblasts in arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. POSTN activates JNK/RIP3‐dependent necroptotic signaling and JNK/ETS2‐induced CCL3 expression in cardiomyocytes. In turn, CCL3‐CCR5 signaling in cardiac myofibroblasts activates NF‐κB/p65 and promotes POSTN expression ...

The GPX3‐VCAM1 Axis Gates Pro‐Fibrotic Tubule Cell Fate in Hyperuricemic Nephropathy
Hyperuricemia induces NLRP3 inflammasome signaling activation and downregulation of GPX3 in proximal tubular epithelial cells, leading to oxidative stress–driven VCAM1 upregulation, emergence of pro‐fibrotic proximal tubule cells, macrophage recruitment, and renal fibrosis.

Chinese Expert Consensus on the Clinical Application of Finerenone in Geriatric Comorbidities
Mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) overactivation drives inflammation, oxidative stress, and fibrosis in the heart, kidneys, and vasculature, leading to cardiorenal dysfunction. MR signaling promotes hypertrophy, remodeling, and injury through pathways like oxidative stress and inflammation, resulting in vascular stiffness and progressive organ damage ...

Long Noncoding RNAs in Aortic Dissection: Mechanistic Roles and Therapeutic Potential
Aortic dissection (AD) involves vascular inflammation, VSMC dysfunction, and ECM degradation. LncRNAs regulate AD progression via ceRNA networks, with great potential as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets, while further clinical validation is needed.

Composition‐Aware Cross‐Sectional Integration for Spatial Transcriptomics
Multi‐section spatial transcriptomics demands coherent cell‐type deconvolution, domain detection, and batch correction, yet existing pipelines treat these tasks separately. FUSION unifies them within a composition‐aware latent framework, modeling reads as cell‐type–specific topics and clustering in embedding space.
