TL;DR: Alamandine produces several physiological actions that resemble those produced by angiotensin-(1–7), including vasodilation, antifibrosis, antihypertensive, and central effects and may help to develop new therapeutic strategies for treating human cardiovascular diseases and other related disorders.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate spatially explicit economic values for a range of ecosystem services provided by the Brazilian Amazon forest, including food production (Brazil nut), raw material provision (rubber and timber), greenhouse gas mitigation (CO2 emissions) and climate regulation (rent losses to soybean, beef and hydroelectricity production due to reduced rainfall).

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that inhibition of microglial activation alone was sufficient to induce significant antihypertensive effects and suggest, for the first time, a link between microglia and certain microbial communities that may have implications for treatment of hypertension.

TL;DR: Results demonstrate, for the first time, that angiotensin-(1–7) activates events that are crucial for resolution of the inflammatory process of asthma and promotion of the return of lung homeostasis, indicating Ang-(1-7) as novel endogenous inflammation-resolving mediator.

TL;DR: Light is shed on the emerging proresolving properties of Ang-(1-7) and alamandine, opening new avenues for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.
