Research gap analysis derived from 2 biology papers in our local library.

The gap

The hypothesized synergy between CA-1-activated plasma kallikrein-kinin system, VEGF, and inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1) in promoting retinal vascular dysfunction remains untested; in vitro and in vivo mechanistic studies are needed to characterize the specific molecular interactions between CA-1, bradykinin generation, VEGF receptor signaling, and endothelial dysfunction in DME.; The role of MYO1B in vascular aging and endothelial dysfunction needs to be explored beyond the...

  • MYO1B in human disease: an actin-based motor linking membrane trafficking to oncogenic signaling, metastasis, and vascular aging (2026) · doi

    The role of MYO1B in vascular aging and endothelial dysfunction needs to be explored beyond the current understanding of its involvement in oncogenic signaling and metastasis.
