This study shows that relaxin-2 reduces fibrosis and promotes regenerative healing by inhibiting TGF-b1-driven ECM deposition in both in vitro and in vivo models.

This study identifies FNDC1 as a key regulator of vascular calcification through the FNDC1-NAMPT-NAD axis, showing its role in both microvascular and macrovascular diseases and its potential as a therapeutic target.

A common missense variant in FBN1 reduces height by 2.2 cm in Peruvians, showing strong positive selection and higher frequency in coastal Native American populations.
