Phosphodiesterase 4 inhibition as a novel treatment for stroke by Jiahong Zhong, Xihui Yu, Zhuomiao Lin

“…Additionally, the utilization of phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitors can enhance synaptic plasticity within the neural circuitry, regulate cellular metabolism, and prevent secondary brain injury caused by impaired blood flow. These mechanisms collectively facilitate the recovery of functional neurons, thereby serving as potential therapeutic interventions. …”

Nitric Oxide and Prostaglandins Potentiate the Liver Regeneration Cascade by Jodi M Schoen Smith, W Wayne Lautt

“…Recent experimental evidence supports the hypothesis that nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandins (PGs), released secondary to an increase in the blood flow-to-liver mass ratio following two-thirds partial hepatectomy (PHx), work synergistically to trigger liver regeneration. …”

Advancing Insights into Large-Artery Stiffening in Humans Through the Application of Multi-omics by Marie-Joe Dib

“…Abstract A healthy aorta limits excess arterial pulsatility and protects the microvasculature from the effects of fluctuating blood flow and pressure. Aging and various pathologic states impair this cushioning function, a phenomenon known as large-artery stiffening (LAS). …”

A physiologically-based pharmacokinetic model for the antibiotic ertapenem by Michele L. Joyner, Cammey C. Manning, Whitney Forbes, Michelle Maiden, Ariel N. Nikas

“…PBPK modeling incorporates known physiological parameters such as body weight, organ volumes, and blood flow rates in particular tissues. Furthermore, ertapenem is highly bound in human blood plasma; therefore, nonlinear binding is incorporated in the model since only the free portion of the drug can saturate tissues and, hence, is the only portion of the drug considered to be medicinally effective. …”
