TL;DR: In this paper, a review of tight junction regulation in the blood-brain barrier is presented, which includes claudins, occludin, ZO-1, zo-2, Zo-3, cingulin and 7H6.
TL;DR: This review will focus on the main mechanisms involved in the onset of endothelial dysfunction, with particular focus on inflammation and aberrant ROS production and on their relationship with classical and non-classical cardiovascular risk factors, such as hypertension, metabolic disorders, and aging.
TL;DR: This review aims to provide an overview of the links between oxidative stress, vascular inflammation, endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular risk factors, importantly focusing on blood pressure regulation and atherosclerosis.
TL;DR: Arterial stiffness is emerging as an interesting tissue biomarker for cardiovascular risk stratification and estimation of the individual "biological age", and the evidence and caveat for clinical use of stiffness as surrogate marker of cardiovascular risk are summarized.
TL;DR: The alterations of Akt signaling play an important role in many cardiovascular pathological processes such as atherosclerosis, cardiac hypertrophy, and vascular remodeling and could be potential novel therapeutics for the cardiovascular diseases.
