Background: We investigated circulating protein profiles and molecular pathways among various chronic kidney disease (CKD) etiologies to study its underlying molecular heterogeneity.

Methods: We conducted a proteomic biomarker analysis in the DAPA-CKD trial recruiting adults with and without type 2 diabetes with an eGFR of 25 to 75 mL/min/1.73m2 and a UACR of 200 to 5000 mg/g.

Cerebral Cavernous Malformations (CCMs) are vascular anomalies in the central nervous system that arise from both genetic and non-genetic factors, and can cause hemorrhage, seizures, and neurological deficits. Approximately 80% of CCMs are sporadic, while 20% are Familial (FCCMs), an autosomal dominant, monogenic disorder characterized by multiple lesions and severe clinical manifestations. Over the past three decades, linkage analyses have identified KRIT1/CCM1, MGC4607/CCM2, and PDCD10/CCM3 as major pathogenic genes in FCCMs.

Vascular diseases are powerful predictors of cardiovascular mortality, but they are typically under-recognized and undertreated. There is no effective treatment for either abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) or peripheral artery disease (PAD). Lipids are key molecules in cardiovascular diseases and good candidates for diagnosis, monitoring, and risk prediction; nonetheless, there is very limited information on the lipidomic profile of patients with AAA and PAD.

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels have long been inversely associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and are traditionally evaluated by serum HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. However, recent studies have raised doubts regarding the causal role of HDL quantity (HDL-C), drawing attention to HDL functionality. Reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) is a major anti-atherosclerotic mechanism involving ATP-binding cassette A1 (ABCA1), ATP-binding cassette G1 (ABCG1), scavenger receptor class B type I (SRB1), and regulatory factors, such as liver X receptor (LXR) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ).

Background: Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a leading cause of visual impairment on a global scale. Its pathological mechanisms involve a complex interplay of vascular obstruction, ischemia, and secondary inflammatory responses. Recent interdisciplinary advances, underpinned by the integration of multimodal data, have established a new paradigm for unraveling the pathophysiological mechanisms of RVO, enabling early diagnosis and personalized treatment strategies.
