Cardiovascular disease is one of the diseases with high global incidence and mortality rates,po-sing a serious threat to public health.Therefore,identifying early diagnostic and treatment targets is particu-larly important.Salusins are vasoactive peptides with various biological activities,and research has shown a close relationship between Salusins and cardiovascular disease.Salusins have two subtypes,Salusin-α and Sa-lusin-β.The main function of Salusin-α is to lower blood pressure,slow heart rate,reduce inflammation and oxidative stress,and inhibit atherosclerosis,while Salusin-β primarily promote proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells and contribute to atherosclerosis.This article reviews some of the latest research progress on Sa-lusins.

Bispecific antibody (BsAbs) are antibodies (Abs) containing two different antigen-binding sites in one molecule. In the last decade, three BsAbs drugs have been approved for therapeutic use. Meanwhile there are a number of BsAbs in preclinical or clinical studies. In this review, we describe BsAb design, discovery, mechanism of action, and the recent research progress in developing BsAbs.
