This study identifies pulmonary microvascular rarefaction as a novel mechanism in heart failure, linking it to impaired gas exchange and worsened cardiac function.

The paper identifies retroviral elements LTR8B and MER65 that regulate PSG9 expression, influencing trophoblast syncytialization and pre-eclampsia risk.

This study shows that butyrate improves diastolic function and reduces fibrosis in hypertensive HFpEF rats by serving as an alternative energy source.

This study shows maternal smoking disrupts placental function by altering syncytiotrophoblast and macrophage biology, leading to fetal growth restriction.

The paper identifies a disrupted trophoblast transition in preeclampsia, linking placental pathology to maternal syndrome through multi-omics profiling and in vitro analyses.
