Preeclampsia (PE) is a serious pregnancy complication characterized by elevated blood pressure and a major cause of maternal and perinatal morbidities, also known to increase the risk of chronic kidney disease. Mechanisms underlying PE-induced kidney injury remain unclear. Anti-angiotensin II type 1 receptor agonistic autoantibody (AT1-AA) is reported to participate in the pathogenesis of PE-induced kidney injury.

Cellulose has been widely used in the field of biomass-based hydrogel sensing materials, being the most abundant biomass material in nature. This review mainly focuses on the types of cellulose hydrogels, the preparation methods and their applications in smart flexible sensing materials.

Agonistic autoantibodies to the angiotensin II type I receptor (AT1-AA) play a significant role in the pathogenesis of PE. This study aimed to determine the effects of Angiotensin 1-7 (Ang 1-7) and its analogue AVE0991 on AT1-AA-induced PE model.

PE is associated with oversecretion of autoantibodies against angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1-AA) by the placenta into the maternal circulation. Here, we sought to determine the therapeutic value of the sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor empagliflozin (EMPA) in mice with AT1-AA-induced preeclampsia.
