HuR inhibition attenuates hypertension and fibrosis in chronic kidney disease

Lili Zhuang, Zhou Wang, Ziwei Fu, Sohom Mookherjee, J. David Symons, Jeffrey Aubé, Xiaoqing Wu, Liang Xu, Yufeng Huang

This paper shows that inhibiting HuR reduces hypertension and fibrosis in chronic kidney disease by targeting inflammation, oxidative stress, and vascular dysfunction.

Dissecting organoid-bacteria interaction highlights decreased contractile force as a key factor for heart infection

Anheng Wang, jiaxian wang, Zhe Zhang, Chunli Yang, Chunhao Deng, Guokai Chen, Chengwu Li, Qian Wang, Lei Dong, Chunming Wang

The paper uses a physics model to show weakened heart contractility increases bacterial invasion risk in cardiac organoids, with mouse experiments confirming a 80% reduction in endocarditis risk with increased contractility.
