    Risk of heart disease following treatment for breast cancer – results from a population-based cohort study

    Haomin Yang, Nirmala Bhoo-Pathy ... Kamila Czene
    Long-term increased risks of arrhythmia and heart failure were found in breast cancer patients, while systemic adjuvant therapies including trastuzumab and anthracyclines were associated with the increased risk of heart failure.

    Chinese natural compound decreases pacemaking of rabbit cardiac sinoatrial cells by targeting second messenger regulation of f-channels

    Chiara Piantoni, Manuel Paina ... Mirko Baruscotti
    A Traditional Chinese Medicine botanical drug exerts a competitive antagonism on the cAMP-induced modulation of sinoatrial node pacemaker channels and this functional inhibition reduces the slope of the diastolic depolarization hence spontaneous cell automaticity.

    Binding blockade between TLN1 and integrin β1 represses triple-negative breast cancer

    Yixiao Zhang, Lisha Sun ... Caigang Liu
    The upregulation of TLN1 contributes to the metastasis of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and a small-molecule C67399 was screened for blocking TLN1 and integrin β1 may hold promise for the treatment of TNBC.

    SOX4 facilitates PGR protein stability and FOXO1 expression conducive for human endometrial decidualization

    Pinxiu Huang, Wenbo Deng ... Shuangbo Kong
    A biochemical approach shows that SOX4 guaranteed the PGR protein stability through repressing the ubiquitin E3 ligase HERC4, to make the stroma cell conducive for response to progesterone and decidualization.

    CaV2.1 channel mutations causing familial hemiplegic migraine type 1 increase the susceptibility for cortical spreading depolarizations and seizures and worsen outcome after experimental traumatic brain injury

    Nicole A Terpolilli, Reinhard Dolp ... Nikolaus Plesnila
    High mortality following traumatic brain injury in mice carrying a human mutation for familial hemiplegic migraine type 1 (FHM1) is caused by a decreased threshold for cortical spreading depolarizations (CSDs) and subsequent brain edema formation.
