Journal ArticleDOI

Circulating plasma xanthine oxidase contributes to vascular dysfunction in hypercholesterolemic rabbits

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that increases in plasma cholesterol induce the release of XO into the circulation, where it binds to endothelial cell glycosaminoglycans and impairs endothelium-dependent vascular responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydralazine prevents nitroglycerin tolerance by inhibiting activation of a membrane-bound NADH oxidase. A new action for an old drug.

TL;DR: The ability of hydralazine to inhibit vascular .O2- anion production represents a novel mechanism of action for this drug.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regional Isolation Drives Bacterial Diversification within Cystic Fibrosis Lungs.

TL;DR: It is suggested that bacterial intermixing is limited in CF lungs and that regional selective pressures may markedly differ, which may explain how specialized bacterial variants arise during infection and raise the possibility that pathogen diversification occurs in other chronic infections characterized by spatially heterogeneous conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, macrophages, and the innate immune response: does common variation matter?

TL;DR: Recent discoveries in human genetic studies are emphasized and correlated with efforts to understand how these variants alter the molecular and cellular functions that regulate the macrophage response to MTb.
