This article discusses the role of B-type natriuretic peptides as prognostic markers.

Bone growth occurs through the proliferation of specialized cells of the cartilage tissue, known as chondrocytes, on either end of a bone. This process requires the synthesis of extracellular matrix ...

This process requires the synthesis of extracellular matrix (ECM) in the bone growth plates. A peptide hormone, known as C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP ... Of particular interest in this entire ...

B7-33 is designed as a single-chain peptide, simplifying the complex two-chain structure of native relaxin-2. This streamlined configuration is hypothesized to enhance its stability and facilitate ...

Background The role of cyclic guanosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (cGMP) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is not well understood despite its significance as a second messenger of natriuretic peptides ...

CNP (C-type natriuretic peptide) contributes to vascular homeostasis, acting through NPR-B (natriuretic peptide receptor-B) and NPR-C (natriuretic peptide receptor-C). CNP mitigates vascular ...

This study demonstrates for the first time that CNP (C-type natriuretic peptide) induces vasodilation in arteries from pregnant patients and in a model of preeclamptic vasoconstriction.

Methods and Results We constructed an adenoviral vector (AdCACNP) expressing C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), a secreted stimulator of membrane-bound guanyl cyclase. AdCACNP directs cells to secrete ...

This study presents valuable findings on the impact of C-natriuretic peptide (CNP) treatment in vivo on the fertility of aged mice. Solid data indicate CNP induces the cAMP-PKA pathway, causing ...

C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is a well-characterized physiological meiotic inhibitor that has been successfully used to improve immature oocyte quality during in vitro maturation (IVM). However, ...

In conclusion, goat mammary gland expressed NPR-B, indicating mammary gland was the target organ for natriuretic peptide system. Moreover, CNP, through NPR-B/JNK/c-Jun signaling pathway to regulate ...

C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) fulfills a multimodal protective role in the cardiovascular system governing local blood flow, angiogenesis, cardiac function, and immune cell reactivity. Herein, we ...
