Our latest attack on RV failure is out! www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/...

GP130 Antagonism Enhances Porcine RV Function | Circulation Research

BACKGROUND: Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is a risk factor for death in multiple cardiovascular diseases, but RV-enhancing therapies are lacking. Inhibition of GP130 (glycoprotein-130) signaling ...

Lactobacillus Restructures the Micro/Mycobiome to Combat Inflammation-Mediated Right Ventricular Dysfunction in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension | Circulation: Heart Failure

BACKGROUND: Inflammation suppresses right ventricular (RV) function in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). In particular, we showed GP130 (glycoprotein-130) signaling promotes pathological microtub...

New to the platform, wanted to share our latest work: www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/....

Ferroptosis-Mediated Inflammation Promotes Pulmonary Hypertension | Circulation Research

BACKGROUND: Mitochondrial dysfunction, characterized by impaired lipid metabolism and heightened reactive oxygen species generation, results in lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis. Ferroptosis is an in...
