Background: Uterine leiomyomas arise from altered uterine smooth muscle cell proliferation in the myometrium. Available treatments are limited and fraught with major side effects. Here, we leveraged data from a high-throughput screening using human …

G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) participates in the phosphorylation and desensitization of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), impacting various biological processes such as inflammation and cell proliferation. Dysregulated expression and …

Tumor suppressor p53 is the most frequently mutated protein in cancer, possessing untapped immune-modulating capabilities in anticancer treatment. Here, we investigate the efficacy and underlying mechanisms of pharmacological reactivation of mutant p53 in …

Background: Several preclinical studies have reported elevated levels of tau following the induction of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH) in Alzheimer’s disease mouse models. The objective of this study was to first induce CCH in a mouse model of …

Monitoring intrapulmonary vasodilation in animal models is vital for understanding pulmonary vascular physiology and disease mechanisms. Here, we present a protocol for the real-time visualization and quantification of pulmonary microvascular dynamics in …

An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening vascular condition characterized by the dilation of the abdominal aorta, with ferroptosis playing a significant role in its pathogenesis. This study investigates the therapeutic potential of …

Mild and reversible nephrotoxicity following repeated administration of damnacanthal in nude mice …

Background: We tested the hypothesis that febuxostat (Feb) therapy effectively protected cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) rats via repressing the xanthine-oxidase (XO)-caused oxidative stress. Methods and Results: Cellular levels of apoptosis/oxidative …

Plasmonic titanium nitride (TiN) nanoparticles are emerging nanomaterials possessing several orders of magnitude higher absorption cross section, but also exhibit higher photostability compared to conventional photosenzitizers. In the recent years, TiN …

Mangiferin Attenuates Ang II-Induced Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm by Blocking Lys591-Mediated Nuclear Translocation of STAT3 …
