Background: Endothelial activation promotes the release of procoagulant extracellular vesicles and inflammatory mediators from specialized storage granules. Endothelial membrane exocytosis is controlled by phosphorylation. We hypothesized that the absence of PTP1B (protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B) in endothelial cells promotes venous thromboinflammation by triggering endothelial membrane fusion and exocytosis.

- - This study introduces a new high-dimensional technique to analyze human γδ T cell subsets in their natural tissue settings, overcoming previous challenges related to antibody availability and technology limitations.
- - Researchers utilized a combination of multiplexed imaging and bioinformatics to identify and characterize γδ T cells in colon and colorectal cancer samples, uncovering various microenvironments and their interactions with both immune and cancer cells.
- - Although this initial study shows the promise of this advanced technology for exploring T cell diversity and microenvironments, further research is needed to connect specific T cell characteristics and microenvironment features with important clinical factors.
Background: Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a common and progressive valve disease with significant mortality and hospitalization burden. Tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair provides a treatment option for high-risk patients with primary and secondary TR.
Methods: The TRILUMINATE trial ([Trial to Evaluate Treatment With Abbott Transcatheter Clip Repair System in Patients With Moderate or Greater Tricuspid Regurgitation]; n=85) is an international, prospective, single-arm, multicenter study to investigate the safety and performance of tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair with the TriClip implant in patients with symptomatic moderate or greater TR.
Background: Cardiovascular resuscitation upon intoxication with lipophilic ion channel-blocking agents has proven most difficult. Recently, favorable results have been reported when lipid rescue therapy is performed, i.e.
