    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.

    PSTPIP2 ameliorates aristolochic acid nephropathy by suppressing interleukin-19-mediated neutrophil extracellular trap formation

    Changlin Du, Chuanting Xu ... Taotao Ma
    PSTPIP2 reduced IL-19 secretion by inhibiting activation of the NF-κB pathway in renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs), reducing the generation of neutrophil extracellular trap, which can participate in both aristolochic acid I-induced renal injury and apoptosis in RTECs.
