Background: Endothelin 1 receptors are one of the drivers of tumor progression in many cancers. Inhibition of their signaling pathways with antagonist drugs has been the subject of numerous clinical trials, but the results have not met expectations probably due to the high endothelin concentrations in the tumor microenvironment and their unusually high affinity for their receptors.
Methods: We previously reported the rendomab B49 antibody (RB49) exhibiting a preferential affinity for the activated conformation of human endothelin B receptor (ET), not displaced by high endothelin levels, and without any pharmacological properties that could inhibit the division of melanoma cells.

Background: Insights into the development and evolution of asymmetrical jaws will require an understanding of the gene regulatory networks that underpin the differential morphogenesis of the maxillary and mandibular domains of the first pharyngeal arch in a variety of gnathostomes. While a robust relationship has been demonstrated between jaw patterning and the Endothelin-Dlx gene axis, much less is known of the next level of genes in the jaw patterning hierarchy.
Results: Several genes, whose expression depends on Dlx5 and/or Dlx6, have been identified in mice.

Background: Timely and accurate evaluation of the patient's pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) is of great significance for the treatment of congenital heart disease. Currently, there is no non-invasive gold standard method for evaluating PAP.
Aim: To assess the prognostic value of lipocalin-2 (LCN2) in relation to PAP in patients with congenital heart disease associated with pulmonary artery hypertension.

Sympathetic nervous system (SNS), endothelin 1 (ET-1) and angiotensin II (Ang II) are involved in the pathophysiology of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Valproic acid (VPA) is under study for the treatment against AMI due to its beneficial cardiac effects. However, the vascular effects of VPA on the activation of the SNS, ET-1 and Ang II after AMI are not fully studied.
