Oestrogen receptor α (ERα) is a nuclear receptor that is the driving transcription factor expressed in the majority of breast cancers. Recent studies have demonstrated that the liver receptor homolog-1 (LRH-1), another nuclear...
The microRNA miR-1 is an important regulator of muscle phenotype including cardiac muscle. Down-regulation of miR-1 has been shown to occur in left ventricular hypertrophy but its contribution to right ventricular hypertrophy in...

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterised by remodelling of the pulmonary vasculature leading to right ventricular hypertrophy. Here, we show that miR-322-5p (the rodent orthologue of miR-424-5p) expression is...
BACKGROUND: Adrenal masses are rare in children and most commonly present with clinical features of virilization in the absence of activation of the pituitary axis-gonadotrophin-independent precocious puberty. OBSERVATIONS: We...
Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction is correlated with pulmonary vascular remodeling. The hypoxia-inducible transcription factors (HIFs) HIF-1α and HIF-2α are known to contribute to the process of hypoxic pulmonary vascular...
Increasing evidence suggests that patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) demonstrate abnormalities in the bone marrow (BM) and hematopoietic progenitor cells. In addition, PAH is associated with myeloproliferative...
Mutations in the gene encoding BMPR2 (bone morphogenetic protein type 2 receptor) are the major cause of heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Point mutations in the BMPR2 ligand-binding domain involving cysteine...
Caveolae are strikingly abundant in endothelial cells, yet the physiological functions of caveolae in endothelium and other tissues remain incompletely understood. Previous studies suggest a mechanoprotective role, but whether...
Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a fatal disorder of the lung circulation in which accumulation of vascular cells progressively obliterates the pulmonary arterioles. This results in sustained elevation in pulmonary artery...
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Early-onset colorectal cancer (CRC, in persons younger than 50 years old) is increasing in incidence; yet, in the absence of a family history of CRC, this population lacks harmonized recommendations for...
Abstract: The semiconductor tracker (SCT) is one of the tracking systems for charged particles in the ATLAS detector. It consists of 4088 silicon strip sensor modules. During Run 2 (2015–2018) the Large Hadron Collider delivered...
