Molecular and Cellular Underpinnings of Primary Hypertension: An Integrative Mechanistic Framework
ABSTRACT Hypertension is a highly prevalent clinical condition and a major contributor to global cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Despite extensive research, its complex and multifaceted pathogenesis is yet to be fully elucidated. This paper explores the updated understanding of primary hypertension as a systemic disorder rather than an isolated

Summary: The hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is composed of heterogenous populations of neurons that express signaling peptides such as vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) and arginine vasopressin (AVP) and regulate circadian rhythms in ...

Loss of α5‐nAChRs drives age‐dependent, sex‐specific behavioral alterations, with females showing early cognitive deficits and males a progressive decline. These findings identify α5‐nAChRs as key regulators of neural circuit maturation and underscore the critical importance of incorporating sex as a biological variable in preclinical research ...

Immune‐Cell Dynamics in the Tumor Microenvironment: Implications for Cancer Therapy
Immune‐cell dynamics in the tumor microenvironment converge on four major barriers to effective therapy: failed immune access, defective antigen visibility and priming, loss of effector maintenance, and suppressive tissue remodeling. These barriers emerge from local hypoxic, cytokine, metabolic, and stromal signals.

ABSTRACT Angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) are widely prescribed but are associated with adverse drug reactions (ADR), including angioedema, which is typically reported in 0.1%–0.7%. Data from sub‐Saharan Africa are limited. This study aimed to estimate the incidence and risk factors of enalapril‐associated ADRs in a Zambian cohort, with

ABSTRACT Incretin effect helps in regulating glucose homeostasis and maintaining glycaemic control within the human body. This effect is achieved by the two naturally occurring incretin hormones: glucose‐dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1).

The Role of Neuropeptide Y in Dental Pulp: Balancing Neurogenic Inflammation and Pain Modulation
ABSTRACT Background Dental pulp is a densely innervated, low‐compliance tissue in which neurogenic inflammation can rapidly escalate into oedema, raised intrapulpal pressure, microvascular compromise, and pain. While Substance P (SP) and Calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP) are well‐established drivers of pulp vasodilation, the Neuroopeptide Y (NPY ...

The Skin‐Lightening Efficacy and Mechanisms of Botanical Extracts: A Comprehensive Review
ABSTRACT Background Skin pigmentation is regulated by a complex network involving melanogenesis, melanosome transfer, oxidative stress, environmental stimuli, and epidermal turnover. Botanical extracts and phytochemicals have attracted increasing interest as potential skin‐lightening agents. This review evaluates their efficacy, mechanisms, and safety.
