Article Synopsis
  • Chronic inflammation, particularly the role of interleukin-6 (IL-6), is being explored as a target for improving hypertension treatment.
  • In a study involving 1,510 participants over six years, it was found that calcium channel blockers (CCBs) with IL-6-lowering properties (specifically amlodipine and barnidipine) resulted in better blood pressure control compared to other CCBs.
  • No significant differences were seen in blood pressure control among other antihypertensive classes or across different ethnic groups, indicating a need for further research into IL-6's impact on hypertension management.

The ovary is the main controller of female fertility, unfortunately, its onset of aging processes was earlier than other organs. Our previous studies showed calcium (Ca) deficiency reduced ovarian weight and declined numbers of dominant follicles in an avian model. However, whether Ca provided a functional role in follicle development of aged avian, and its further mechanism was still unknown.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aims to enhance understanding of the bacterial meningitis-causing diplococcus by identifying a functional protein that could be targeted for future treatments.
  • Using a hypothetical protein (HP), researchers employed various bioinformatics methods and homology modeling to predict the protein's structure and function.
  • Results indicated that HP is acidic and soluble, is localized in the periplasm, and Loperamide shows the best potential as a therapeutic agent by inhibiting the protein's transporter activity.
