Introduction: We have evidence-based strategies such as remote patient monitoring and digital health tools to improve hypertension outcomes. Still, we lack large-scale studies focusing on disseminating these practices into routine clinical care. This is especially important to study within safety-net healthcare settings that disproportionately care for marginalized patient populations.

While MYC is a significant oncogenic transcription factor driver of cancer, directly targeting MYC has remained challenging due to its intrinsic disorder and poorly defined structure, deeming it "undruggable." Whether transient pockets formed within intrinsically disordered and unstructured regions of proteins can be selectively targeted with small molecules remains an outstanding challenge. Here, we developed a bespoke stereochemically-paired spirocyclic oxindole aziridine covalent library and screened this library for degradation of MYC.

Introduction: Carotid endarterectomy is currently the gold standard treatment option for significant symptomatic carotid stenosis. Carotid artery stenting can be an alternative in selected patients, although with inferior results when compared with its open counterpart. Transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) emerged as a new option, with promising results.

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is highly specialized to protect the brain from harmful circulating factors in the blood and maintain brain homeostasis. The brain endothelial glycocalyx layer, a carbohydrate-rich meshwork composed primarily of proteoglycans, glycoproteins and glycolipids that coats the BBB lumen, is a key structural component of the BBB. This layer forms the first interface between the blood and brain vasculature, yet little is known about its composition and roles in supporting BBB function in homeostatic and diseased states.
