Objectives: GPC3 has been recognized as a promising target for immunotherapy in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the GPC3-targeted immunotherapies have shown limited therapeutic efficacy. The use of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies in HCC treatment is considerably constrained.

Objective: Evaluate the relationship of cathepsin-D (CD) on disease severity and clinical outcomes for women with peripartum cardiomyopathy.
Background: Cathepsin-D is a protease released during oxidative stress that cleaves prolactin (PRL) generating a 16 kDa fragment that is pro-apoptotic, anti-angiogenic, and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM).
Methods: In 99 women with newly diagnosed PPCM enrolled in the Investigation in Pregnancy Associated Cardiomyopathy (IPAC) study, CD levels were assessed by ELISA from serum obtained at study entry.

The tumor microenvironment (TME) is involved in cancer initiation and progression. With advances in the TME field, numerous therapeutic approaches, such as antiangiogenic treatment and immune checkpoint inhibitors, have been inspired and developed. Nevertheless, the sophisticated regulatory effects on the biological balance of the TME remain unclear.

Background: Preeclampsia is a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy characterized by systemic endothelial dysfunction. The pathophysiology of preeclampsia remains incompletely understood. This study used human venous endothelial cell (EC) transcriptional profiling to investigate potential novel mechanisms underlying EC dysfunction in preeclampsia.

Angiopoietin-2, an important contributor to angiogenesis and vascular remodeling, is increasingly recognized in kidney research. This review explores clinical insights and experimental perspectives on angiopoietin-2 in kidney diseases. Traditionally seen as an antagonist of the Tie-2, which is a receptor tyrosine kinase of endothelial cells and some hematopoietic stem cells, angiopoietin-2 exerts both proangiogenic and antiangiogenic effects, making it a versatile and context-dependent player in kidney pathophysiology.
