Network medicine: a network-based approach to human disease

AL Barabási, N Gulbahce, J Loscalzo - Nature reviews genetics, 2011 - nature.com
Given the functional interdependencies between the molecular components in a human cell,
a disease is rarely a consequence of an abnormality in a single gene, but reflects the …

A redox-based mechanism for the neuroprotective and neurodestructive effects of nitric oxide and related nitroso-compounds

…, ZH Pan, SZ Lei, HSV Chen, NJ Sucher, J Loscalzo… - Nature, 1993 - nature.com
CONGENERS of nitrogen monoxide (NO) are neuroprotective and neurodestructive 1– 7.
To address this apparent paradox, we considered the effects on neurons of compounds …

Homocysteine and atherothrombosis

GN Welch, J Loscalzo - New England journal of medicine, 1998 - Mass Medical Soc
In 1969, McCully made the clinical observation linking elevated plasma homocyst(e)ine

Biochemistry of nitric oxide and its redox-activated forms

JS Stamler, DJ Singel, J Loscalzo - Science, 1992 - science.org
Nitric oxide (NO ⋅ ), a potentially toxic molecule, has been implicated in a wide range of
biological functions. Details of its biochemistry, however, remain poorly understood. The …

Endothelial cells in physiology and in the pathophysiology of vascular disorders

…, ES Pollak, CA Buck, J Loscalzo… - Blood, The Journal …, 1998 - ashpublications.org
PART I THE ENDOTHELIUM has long been viewed as an inert cellophane-like membrane
that lines the circulatory system with its primary essential function being the maintenance of …

Nitric oxide circulates in mammalian plasma primarily as an S-nitroso adduct of serum albumin.

…, D Singel, CR Valeri, J Loscalzo - Proceedings of the …, 1992 - National Acad Sciences
We have recently shown that nitric oxide or authentic endothelium-derived relaxing factor
generated in a biologic system reacts in the presence of specific protein thiols to form S-…
