Semaphorin 3A signaling, through the plexin A1/neuropilin 1 (PLXA1/NRP1) receptor complex, is known to disrupt the differentiation and migration of oligodendrocyte precursor cells and mature remyelinating oligodendrocytes. Both semaphorin 3A and plexin A1 are up-regulated in the central nervous system of patients with multiple sclerosis.
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has limited treatment options and remains a medical challenge. HFpEF is characterized by diastolic dysfunction with a normal ejection fraction. Previous findings have shown that inhibiting histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) alters the mechanisms contributing to dilated cardiomyopathy.
