Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) was cloned over 2 decades ago and its identification in part
led to the discovery of a super family of tumor necrosis factors (TNFs) and their receptors …

Inflammation is a key mechanism of cardiovascular diseases. It is an essential component of
atherosclerosis and a significant risk factor for the development of cardiovascular events. In …

G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) kinases (GRKs) are best known for their role in
homologous desensitization of GPCRs. GRKs phosphorylate activated receptors and …

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are critical cellular sensors that mediate numerous
physiological processes. In the heart, multiple GPCRs are expressed on various cell types …

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are important regulators of various cellular functions
via activation of intracellular signaling events. Active GPCR signaling is shut down by GPCR …

Drugs currently approved to coat stents used in percutaneous coronary interventions do not
discriminate between proliferating vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and endothelial …

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.
Innovative, more stringent diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers and effective treatment …

NF‐κB comprises a family of transcription factors that are critically involved in various
inflammatory processes. In this paper, the role of NF‐κB in inflammation and atherosclerosis …

Endothelial cells (EC) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) are the main cell types
within the vasculature. We describe here how microRNAs (miRs)—noncoding RNAs that …

Recently it has been demonstrated that catecholamines are produced and used by
macrophages and mediate immune response. The aim of this study is to verify whether …
