Fresh insights from University of Edinburgh into a protein that causes damage in kidneys and hearts could open up new treatment options for chronic kidney disease.
The new findings could pave the way to safer aspirin alternatives and might also have implications for improving cancer immunotherapies.
US researchers have discovered that cancer treatments or anthracycline drugs, cause cardiovascular disease by activating a key inflammatory signalling pathway.
Elevated lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease that affects one in five people worldwide, but currently lacks approved therapies. Here, Dr Giles Campion, EVP, Head of R&D and Chief Medical Officer of Silence Therapeutics, describes the company’s approach to developing an investigational siRNA therapy designed…
Drug-initiated activity metabolomics screening discovers the metabolite myristoylglycine, that converts white fat cells to brown fat cells.
A recent pre-clinical study from Washington University School of Medicine showed that a new class of compounds can potentially improve multiple aspects of metabolic syndrome, including diabetes.
Researchers discovered that cardiovascular damage was caused by reduced microRNA-210 levels in patient cells and mice with type 2 diabetes.
Researchers have developed an inexpensive method for visualising blood flow in the brain that can discern the motions of individual blood cells.
Researchers have revealed a novel mechanism for platelet activation, suggesting a potential target for antithrombotic therapy.
A newly developed blood vessel model can mimic the states of health and disease, paving the way for cardiovascular drug advancements.
Researchers have shown in mice that macrophages play a role in controlling blood flow and healing following tissue damage.
A new compound can inhibit the build-up of plaque in arteries and prevent atherosclerosis, researchers have shown.
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are a class of naturally occurring polysaccharides that play vital roles in cellular functions. GAGs (eg, hyaluronic acid, heparosan, chondroitin, chondroitin sulfate, heparan sulfate and heparin) have also been utilised in biopharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. Animal-sourced GAGs can contain process impurities and contaminants, which may result in adverse…
The study shows how drug-like small molecules inhibit the activity of Transient Receptor Potential Canonical 1/4/5 (TRPC1/4/5) channels and could transform the development of future therapies.
