Article Abstract
Although multiple aspects of molecular pathology underlying cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have been revealed, the complete picture has yet to be elucidated. In this respect, annotation of the novel links between genes and atherosclerosis is of great importance for cardiovascular medicine. Aligning with our previous research, we aimed to analyze the cardiovascular predisposition contribution of the genes encoding Hero-proteins, polypeptides with chaperone activity. Following bioinformatic sources were utilized to annotate data regarding the cardiovascular contribution of Hero-proteins and their genes: SNPinfo Web Server, The Cardiovascular Disease Knowledge Portal, GTEx Portal, HaploReg, rSNPBase, RegulomeDB, atSNP, Gene Ontology, QTLbase, and the Blood eQTL browser. Almost all analyzed genes were characterized by a very high regulatory potential of tag SNPs (except ). Multiple substantial impacts of the analyzed SNPs on histone modifications, eQTL effects on CVD-related genes, and binding to transcription factors involved in biological processes pathogenetically significant for CVDs have been discovered. Here we provide evidence of the involvement of genes , , , , and in CVDs and their risk factors (high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, obesity, arrhythmias, etc.), thus revealing Hero-proteins as putative actors in the pathobiology of the heart and vessels.

Our previous work identified p3-interacting protein (P3IP) as a novel plant factor that interacts with rice stripe virus p3 protein and activates autophagy to mediate its degradation, thereby restricting infection. However, the mechanism of P3IP-mediated autophagy and the evolutionary conservation of its antiviral function remain unknown. This study demonstrates that two Arabidopsis thaliana homologs, AtP3IP and AtP3IPH (Arabidopsis P3IP homologs, AtP3IPs), similarly activate autophagy and confer resistance to turnip mosaic virus (TuMV).

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent chronic disease, characterized by progressive joint degeneration and primarily affects older adults. OA leads to reduced functional abilities, a lower quality of life, and an increased mortality rate. Currently, effective treatment options for OA are lacking.

Pompe disease is a glycogen storage disorder caused by mutations in the acid α-glucosidase (GAA) gene, leading to reduced GAA activity and glycogen accumulation in heart and skeletal muscles. Enzyme replacement therapy with recombinant GAA, the standard of care for Pompe disease, is limited by poor skeletal muscle distribution and immune responses after repeated administrations. The expression of GAA in muscle with adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors has shown limitations, mainly the low targeting efficiency and immune responses to the transgene.

In political studies, lobbying is portrayed as a vital process of political participation, contributing information, policy capacities, and political capital to policymaking, but also as a potential source of representation biases, undue influence, and policy capture. Given such Janus-faced nature of lobbying within democracy, the primary aim of this article is to investigate which perception prevails among citizens empirically. By analysing the primary data of two surveys of 4000 Canadian and 1600 Swiss citizens, it investigates the public perception of lobbying across countries with contrasting institutional and regulatory frameworks and different levels of trust in political institutions.

Distraction osteogenesis (DO) is an endogenous bone tissue engineering technique that harnesses the regenerative potential of bone and has been widely applied in limb lengthening, bone defect repair, and craniofacial reconstruction. The DO procedure consists of three distinct phases: the latency phase, the distraction phase, and the consolidation phase, each characterized by unique biological processes. In recent years, increasing attention has been directed toward the role of the immune system during DO.
