GPR107 Loss Promotes Diabetic Nephropathy
2026-09-25
Xu et al. report that GPR107 deficiency worsens diabetic kidney injury by impairing clathrin-mediated internalization of AT1R in podocytes, shifting collagen IV production and degradation toward extracellular accumulation. The findings connect receptor trafficking to glomerular basement membrane remodeling and suggest a mechanism to test in future diabetic nephropathy research.

ACE Inhibitor Selectivity for Aminopeptidases
2026-09-21
This 1992 study systematically compared metallopeptidase inhibitors against the cell-surface aminopeptidases AP-A, AP-N, and AP-W. Its findings separated genuinely selective inhibitors from compounds whose apparent effects could reflect off-target aminopeptidase inhibition, providing an important framework for interpreting ACE inhibitor pharmacology and peptide-metabolism experiments.

Angiotensin II: From GPCR Signal to Metabolic Phenotype
2026-09-19
Angiotensin II research increasingly depends on connecting receptor signaling with measurable metabolic and stress phenotypes. This guide uses the miR-1268a/CD36 heart-failure study to show how Angiotensin II models can be selected, controlled, and interpreted more rigorously.

Mechanisms of Cell Death in Heart Disease: A Review
2026-09-18
The reference review reframes cardiac injury by showing that necrosis, like apoptosis, can be actively regulated rather than being purely passive. Its analysis connects death-receptor, mitochondrial, and endoplasmic-reticulum pathways and explains why cell-death mechanisms are relevant to myocardial infarction and heart failure research.

ACE2 Peptidase Specificity and Angiotensin (1-7)
2026-09-17
Saulnier and colleagues used a fluorogenic ACE2 activity assay to define how angiotensin peptide length and terminal residues influence competition with an ACE2 substrate. Their findings identify Ang II and Ang III as the most effective natural ACE2 substrates in this assay and clarify why Angiotensin (1-7) is primarily a product rather than a competing substrate.
