Article Abstract
In recent years, the immune system has emerged as a key player in the development of atherosclerosis, heart failure, venous thromboembolism, and systemic hypertension. Obesity and related cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading global cause of death. Adipokines-hormones produced by adipose tissue-exert diverse endocrine and immunomodulatory effects. Among them, chemerin, discovered in the early 20th century, is a chemotactic molecule that recruits dendritic cells, endothelial cells, macrophages, and lymphocytes during early immune responses. It regulates cell migration and vascular homeostasis. Dysregulated adipokine profiles contribute to chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and impaired blood pressure control. This review explores chemerin's potential role in CVD pathogenesis, focusing on its immunomodulatory functions, impact on vascular inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction. The presented work also examines recent findings on chemerin's diagnostic and therapeutic potential in cardiovascular health.

Background And Aims: Aortic dissection (AD) is one of the most dangerous and tricky diseases in the field of cardiovascular surgery, severely affecting public health. Recent studies have found that SUMOylation is linked to the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. However, we know very little about the molecular mechanisms of SUMOylation in AD.

Background: Sarcopenia is associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, whether changes in sarcopenia status affect CVD risk remains unclear. In addition, how indoor fuel use impacts the sarcopenia transition process is less well studied.

Background: Coronary atherosclerosis is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease and death worldwide. Despite progress in understanding its pathogenesis, the roles of circulating inflammatory proteins and plasma metabolites are complex and not fully elucidated. Existing Mendelian randomization (MR) studies often target isolated biomarkers, lacking comprehensive and mechanistic insights.

Cardiac adipose tissue is normally present in the epicardium, but a variable amount can also be present in the myocardium, particularly in the subepicardial regions of the right ventricular anterolateral and apical regions. Pathological adipose tissue changes may occur in both ischemic (previous myocardial infarction) and nonischemic (previous myocarditis, arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum, cardiac lipomas and liposarcomas) conditions, with or without extensive replacement-type myocardial fibrosis. Cardiac magnetic resonance is the gold standard imaging technique to characterize myocardial tissue changes and to distinguish between physiological and pathological cardiac fat deposits.

Loss of actin cytoskeleton control can hinder integral developmental and physiological processes and can be the basis for a subset of developmental defects. SHROOM3 is an actin binding protein, best characterized as being essential for neural tube closure in vertebrates. Shroom3 expression has also been identified in the developing heart, with some associated congenital heart defects.
