Catestatin is a multifunctional peptide that is involved in the regulation of the cardiovascular
and immune systems as well as metabolic homeostatis. It mitigates detrimental, excessive …

Chromogranin A (CgA)—the index member of the chromogranin/secretogranin secretory
protein family—is ubiquitously distributed in endocrine, neuroendocrine, and immune cells …

Mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the fundamental causes of ischemia reperfusion (I/R)
damage. I/R refers to the paradoxical progression of cellular dysfunction and death that …

Accounting for almost one-third of the global mortality, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs)
represent a major global health issue. Emerging data suggest that most of the well …
