Objectives Eosinophilic bronchiectasis is defined by a blood eosinophil count (BEC) ≥300 cells/µL, but blood eosinophils imperfectly reflect airway eosinophilic inflammation. Here, we investigated the ...

Cardiac hypertrophy is associated with abnormal electrophysiology and increased arrhythmia risk. This study assessed whether candesartan cilexetil, an angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker, could ...
Mechanisms mediating hypertensive effects of overweight and obesity have not been fully elucidated. We showed previously that activation of pregnane X receptor (PXR) by rifampicin elevates 24‐hour ...
Platelet-derived growth factor-D (PDGF-D) is highly expressed in immune cells. However, the potential role of PDGF-D in immune system remains thus far unclear. Here, we reveal a novel function of PDGF ...
Engineered cardiac tissues fabricated from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) show promise for ameliorating damage from myocardial infarction, while also restoring function to the damaged ...
