Essential Hypertension: An Approach to Its Etiology and Neurogenic Pathophysiology by Juan J. Bolívar

“…This review emphasizes that, from an evolutionary point of view, we are adapted to ingest and excrete <1 g of sodium (2.5 g of salt) per day and that essential hypertension develops when the kidneys become unable to excrete the amount of sodium ingested, unless blood pressure is increased. The renal-mean arterial pressure set-point model is briefly described to explain that a shift of the pressure natriuresis relationship toward abnormally high pressure levels is a pathophysiological characteristic of essential hypertension. …”

Teaching an old dog new tricks: re-engineering IL-2 for immuno-oncology applications by Mario Sznol, Naiyer Rizvi

“…Bempegaldesleukin, the first of the modified IL-2 agents to reach phase 3 evaluation in combination with an anti-PD-1, did not improve outcome for patients with metastatic melanoma and renal carcinoma. The disappointing data raise important questions about the potential efficacy of other interleukin-2 variants, however, several of the other variants appear to be sufficiently differentiated in anticipated pharmacokinetic properties and immune modulatory effects to warrant continued clinical development.…”
