Sir Boris Uvarov (1886 [sic]–1970), FRS, KCMG, a Russian-born British entomologist was during his lifetime a recognised leader of the discipline of Orthopterology. He is widely known for his numerous descriptions of new taxa as well as for his locust phase theory which was important for rationalising locust control. Until recently, his date of birth remained uncertain, for at different times it was reported as November 5, 1888 or 1889. Archival research reveals the true date of his birth (October 22 / November 3, 1886) and allows to correct some oher key facts and dates on his early biography.

Single amino acid substitutions in the ATP-binding domain of ACVRL1, a key receptor in the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathway, are frequently classified as variants of uncertain significance (VUS), complicating molecular diagnosis for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT). Since aberrant ATP binding disrupts downstream SMAD1/5/8 phosphorylation, we employed molecular dynamics ...

Background Cardiac fibrosis represents a significant health burden, with endothelial dysfunction and damaged
perivascular microenvironment increasingly recognized as key contributors to fibrotic remodeling. The urokinase
plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR), a critical component of the urokinase system, plays a pivotal role in vascular
remodeling and fibrosis. While prior evidence indicates that uPAR deficiency leads to microvascular dysfunction and
perivascular fibrosis, ...
