Kidney-Specific Membrane-Bound Serine Proteases CAP1/Prss8 and CAP3/St14 Affect ENaC Subunit Abundances but Not Its Activity

The serine proteases CAP1/Prss8 and CAP3/St14 are identified as ENaC channel-activating proteases in vitro, highly suggesting that they are required for proteolytic activation of ENaC in vivo. The present study tested whether CAP3/St14 is relevant for rena ...

Increasing heart vascularisation after myocardial infarction using brain natriuretic peptide stimulation of endothelial and WT1(+) epicardial cells

Na Li, Alexia Laurie Carboni

Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) treatment increases heart function and decreases heart dilation after myocardial infarction (MI). Here, we investigated whether part of the cardioprotective effect of BNP in infarcted hearts related to improved neovascularis ...

Cell-specific image-guided transcriptomics identifies complex injuries caused by ischemic acute kidney injury in mice

Elena Goun, Pavlo Khodakivskyi

The kidney's inherent complexity has made identifying cell-specific pathways challenging, particularly when temporally associating them with the dynamic pathophysiology of acute kidney injury (AKI). Here, we combine renal cell-specific luciferase reporter ...

Cyclic peptide therapeutics: past, present and future

Christian Heinis, Alessandro Zorzi, Kaycie Marie Butler

Cyclic peptides combine several favorable properties such as good binding affinity, target selectivity and low toxicity that make them an attractive modality for the development of therapeutics. Over 40 cyclic peptide drugs are currently in clinical use an ...

How to prevent venous cannula orifice obstruction during extracorporeal circulation

Julien Favre

Venous cannula orifice obstruction is an underestimated problem during augmented cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), which can potentially be reduced with redesigned, virtually wall-less cannula designs versus traditional percutaneous control venous cannulas. A ...

Directed Evolution of Bicyclic Peptides for Therapeutic Application

Christian Heinis, Philippe Diderich

Many naturally occurring cyclic peptides or derivatives thereof are used as therapeutics such as the human hormones vasopressin and oxytocin or the antibiotics vancomycin and daptomycin. The success of cyclic peptide therapeutics is based on their ability ...
