Atherosclerosis is a progressive arterial disease arising from imbalanced lipid metabolism and a maladaptive immune response. The lymphatic system ensures tissue fluid homeostasis, absorption of dietary fats and trafficking of immune cells to draining lymph nodes, thereby potentially affecting atherogenesis. Endothelial cell-specific deletion of Pannexin1 (Panx1) in apolipoprotein E-deficient (Apoe-/-) mice increased atherosclerosis, suggesting a protective role for Panx1 channels in arterial endothelial function.

Emerging evidence suggests that Khib (2-hydroxyisobutyrylation) plays a significant role in the cardiovascular system. Histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) serves as an "eraser" of Khib marks.

Most blood cells derive from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), originating from endothelial cells. The induction of HSCs from endothelial cells occurs during mid-gestation, and research has revealed multiple steps in this induction process. Hemogenic endothelial cells emerge within the endothelium, transition to hematopoietic cells (pre-HSCs), and subsequently mature into functional HSCs.

To explore the regulation of vasodilatory function in rats with post-infarction heart failure by salvianolic acid B(Sal-B) based on the mechanosensitive ion channel, namely Piezo1. A post-infarction heart failure model of rats was prepared by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery. After successful modeling, the rats were randomly divided into the model group, Sal-B group(0.
