Article Abstract
Circular RNA (circRNA) is a neoteric researched transcript that involves gene regulation by serving as a micro-RNA (miRNA) sponge. This circRNA-miRNA-mRNA interaction is being recently explored, and its dysregulation is associated with disease pathogenesis and progression. Studies have demonstrated the involvement of this regulatory network in endothelium dysfunction-mediated regulation of pathology in vascular diseases. The disturbances or imbalance of vasodilation and vasoconstriction factors due to changes in oxidative stress, inflammatory markers, and nitric oxide signaling leads to endothelial dysfunction. These disturbances cause impermeability of blood through the endothelial barrier, thus developing atherosclerotic lesions. Advancements in high-throughput techniques like genome and RNA sequencing have made us understand this complex regulatory network causing endothelial dysfunction. In this review, we emphasize the network of interactions between circRNA, miRNA, and mRNA that mediates gene regulation and is linked to endothelial dysfunction in various pathological conditions.

Limited vascularization and ischemia are major contributors to the chronicity of wounds, such as ulcers and traumatic injuries, which impose significant medical, social, and economic burdens. These challenges are particularly pronounced in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI), a disabling condition associated with vascular dysfunction, infections, and impaired peripheral circulation, complicating the treatment of pressure injuries (PIs) and the success of reconstructive procedures like grafts and flaps. Regenerative medicine aims to address these issues by identifying effective cellular therapies to restore vascular beds.

Purpose Of Review: Despite major advances in the treatment and prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), a substantial burden of residual risk remains Obesity has been redefined as a primary and independent drivers of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality warranting focused attention.
Recent Findings: Obesity is now recognized as a chronic disease and a central contributor to residual cardiovascular risk through mechanisms including systemic inflammation, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and endothelial dysfunction. This review addresses the limitations of conventional obesity management and highlights emerging pharmacological therapies targeting the underlying adiposopathy.

Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) syndrome, a newly defined systemic disorder, is characterized by the pathological interplay among diabetes, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Recent studies have identified chronic inflammation not only as a central mediator in the pathological progression of CKM syndrome but also as a pivotal molecular hub that drives coordinated damage across multiple organ systems. Mechanistic investigations have revealed that aberrant activation of signaling pathways such as NF-κB, Wnt, PI3K-AKT, JAK-STAT, and PPAR constitutes a complex inflammatory regulatory network.

Background: The cerebral circulation is continuously challenged by intravascular micrometer-sized particles that become trapped microvascular-emboli. These particles may include micro-thrombi, stiffened erythrocytes, and leukocytes, while also fat particles, air, and microplastics may cause microvascular embolism.
Review Scope: In this narrative review, we discuss these embolization processes and their acute and chronic consequences.
