This study compares HIV-1 gp120 subtypes A and B, showing subtype A induces more severe pulmonary arterial hypertension through enhanced furin activity and different CD4 and nAChR interactions.

The paper investigates the role of arginine at position 2 of angiotensin II and shows that its conversion to glutamic acid or proline via oxidant-mediated mechanisms alters cellular signaling responses.

This study investigates the antioxidant properties of Rhodiola rosea extract and its components, showing rosavin reduces H2O2 levels and provides cytoprotection under oxidative stress.

This study shows angiotensin IV enhances SARS-CoV-2 entry at low concentrations but inhibits it at higher concentrations, suggesting a dual role in viral infection.

This study examines pulmonary arterial remodeling in COVID-19 patients through histopathological analysis of autopsy lung samples, finding thickened vascular walls and associations with disease duration and vascular changes.

This study shows that certain angiotensin peptides enhance SARS-CoV-2 spike protein binding to host cell receptors, suggesting potential pharmacological targets for treating COVID-19 and long COVID.
