Patients affected by primary aldosteronism (PA) display an increased risk of cardiovascular events compared with essential hypertension (EH). Endothelial dysfunction favors initiation and progression of atherosclerosis and circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs), reflecting endothelial cell activity, could represent one of the
Staphylococcal biofilms are recognized as a significant problem in the food industry because of their high resistance to antibiotics, and the use of bacteriophages or endolysins has been regarded as a promising alternative to antibiotics. In this study, LysCSA13, an

The pro-drug pyrazinamide is hydrolyzed to pyrazinoic acid (POA) in its use for the treatment of tuberculosis. As a molecule with bactericidal activity, POA binds to the C-terminal S1 domain of ribosomal protein S1 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MtRpsACTD_S1) to inhibit
Cyanobacteria are monophyletic organisms that perform oxygenic photosynthesis. While they exhibit great diversity, they have a common set of genes. However, the essentiality of them for viability has hampered the elucidation of their functions. One example of these genes is
The high-conductance intracellular calcium (Ca2+) channel RyR2 is essential for the coupling of excitation and contraction in cardiac muscle. Among various modulators, calmodulin (CaM) regulates RyR2 in a Ca2+-dependent manner. Here we reveal the regulatory mechanism by which porcine RyR2
