AKAP5 and Caveolin-1 organize opposing nanodomains that regulate smooth muscle contraction and blood pressure

The paper identifies AKAP5 and caveolin-1 as organizers of opposing nanodomains that regulate smooth muscle contraction and blood pressure through distinct signaling pathways.

Microenvironment T-Type calcium channels regulate neuronal and glial processes to promote glioblastoma growth

This study shows that microenvironment T-type calcium channels promote glioblastoma growth by regulating neuronal and glial processes, and that blocking these channels with mibefradil enhances the effectiveness of standard therapies.

Deletion of RSK2 kinase alleviates age-dependent hypertension

This study shows that deleting RSK2 kinase in aged mice reduces hypertension by improving vascular relaxation and reducing vessel stiffness.

FHL5 controls vascular disease-associated gene programs in smooth muscle cells

This study identifies FHL5 as a causal gene for vascular disease risk through eQTL colocalization and functional analyses, showing its role in vascular remodeling and calcification.
