The advancement of polysaccharides in disease modulation: Multifaceted regulation of programmed cell death.

Programmed cell death (PCD), also known as regulatory cell death (RCD), is a process that occurs in all organisms and is closely linked to both normal physiological processes and disease states. Various signaling pathways, such as TP53, KRAS, NOTCH, hypoxia, and metabolic reprogramming, have been found to regulate RCD. Polysaccharides, which are essential natural products, have been the subject of extensive research in the fields of food, nutrition, and medicine due to their wide range of pharmacological effects.

Mitochondria-mediated Ferroptosis in Diseases Therapy: From Molecular Mechanisms to Implications.

Ferroptosis, a type of cell death involving iron and lipid peroxidation, has been found to be closely associated with the development of many diseases. Mitochondria are vital components of eukaryotic cells, serving important functions in energy production, cellular metabolism, and apoptosis regulation. Presently, the precise relationship between mitochondria and ferroptosis remains unclear.

The combination of machine learning and untargeted metabolomics identifies the lipid metabolism -related gene CH25H as a potential biomarker in asthma.

Background: Lipids, significant signaling molecules, regulate a multitude of cellular responses and biological pathways in asthma which are closely associated with disease onset and progression. However, the characteristic lipid genes and metabolites in asthma remain to be explored. It is also necessary to further investigate the role of lipid molecules in asthma based on high-throughput data.
