Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a vascular remodeling disease that impacts the cardiopulmonary system. Due to the currently limited understanding of vascular remodeling, a cure for PAH remains elusive. This study highlights the critical role of the STAT1 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 1)/MMP8 (matrix metallopeptidase 8)/...

This study investigates the composition, abundance, and vertical export of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) across three deep basins of the northeastern Mediterranean Sea (NEMS) over one year. Sinking particles were collected using sediment traps, and PAH analysis was conducted via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. PAH fluxes varied sign...

This review explores biochar’s potential as a sustainable and cost-effective solution for remediating organic pollutants, particularly polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and pesticides, in water. Biochar, a carbon-rich material produced from biomass pyrolysis, has demonstrated adsorption efficiencies exceeding 90% under optimal conditions, dep...

Abstract Contamination is one of the major threats to freshwater biodiversity. Compared to other aquatic ecosystems, peri-urban ponds are unique because they are embedded in human-dominated areas. However, it is poorly understood how different land uses such as urban or agricultural contribute multiple pollutants to ponds and thus affect pond biodi...

Rabbit meat represents food with a chemical composition beneficial to the human body. Due to its protein content and low fat levels, it is widely used in the diet of people with various health problems. Through preparation and heat treatments, some components lose their value, and these treatments can also increase the content of compounds that can...

This study characterized polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in oil pellets stranded at Fernando de Noronha Archipelago, equatorial Atlantic. It also characterized PAHs dissolved/dispersed in seawater (i.e. water accommodated fraction - WAF) and used them for investigating toxic effects on embryos of the snapping shrimp Alpheus estuariensis. In...

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a fatal disease characterized by continuous constriction and occlusion of small pulmonary arteries, leading to the development of right ventricular failure and death. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is a kind of serine protease enzyme that increases low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (...

This study aimed to screen an immune-related gene (IRG) panel and develop a novel approach for diagnosing pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) utilizing bioinformatics and machine learning (ML). Gene expression profiles were retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to identify differentially expressed immune-related genes (IRG-DEG...

The role of stress granules (SGs) in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is unknown. We hypothesized that SG formation contributes to abnormal vascular phenotypes, and cardiac and skeletal muscle dysfunction in PAH. Using the rat Sugen/hypoxia (SU/Hx) model of PAH, we demonstrate the formation of SG puncta and increased expression of SG proteins ...
