Mesenchymal Stem Cell Membrane-Camouflaged Liposomes for Biomimetic Delivery of Cyclosporine A for Hepatic Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Prevention.

Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) is a prevalent issue during liver resection and transplantation, with currently no cure or FDA-approved therapy. A promising drug, Cyclosporin A (CsA), ameliorates HIRI by maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis but has systemic side effects due to its low bioavailability and high dosage requirements. This study introduces a biomimetic CsA delivery system that directly targets hepatic lesions using mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) membrane-camouflaged liposomes.

Machine learning-based identification of CYBB and FCAR as potential neutrophil extracellular trap-related treatment targets in sepsis.

Objective: Sepsis related injury has gradually become the main cause of death in non-cardiac patients in intensive care units, but the underlying pathological and physiological mechanisms remain unclear. The Third International Consensus Definitions for Sepsis and Septic Shock (SEPSIS-3) definition emphasized organ dysfunction caused by infection. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) can cause inflammation and have key roles in sepsis organ failure; however, the role of NETs-related genes in sepsis is unknown.

Machine-learning-assisted molecular design of phenylnaphthylamine-type antioxidants.

In this study, a total of 302 molecular structures of phenylnaphthylamine antioxidants based on -phenyl-1-naphthylamine and -phenyl-2-naphthylamine skeletons with various substituents were modeled by exhaustive methods. Antioxidant parameters, including the hydrogen dissociation energy, solubility parameter, and binding energy, were calculated through molecular simulations. Then, a group decomposition scheme was determined to decompose 302 antioxidants.

Antioxidant Behavior Affected by Polarity in the Olive Oil: Experimental and Molecular Simulation Investigations.

Natural antioxidants are essential potential sources for protecting the oxidation of food oils. However, until now, the mechanisms are still not very clear, especially from the quantitatively theoretical level to analyze the antioxidant behavior. In this work, the micromechanisms of the antioxidant behavior affected by polarity in the olive oil were systematically investigated by experimental and computational methods.

LINC01006 promotes cell proliferation and metastasis in pancreatic cancer via miR-2682-5p/HOXB8 axis.

Background: Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the deadliest cancers about the digestive system. Recent researches have validated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play vital roles in various cancers, while the function of LINC01006 in PC is rarely clarified.

Aim Of The Study: Investigation of the specific role of LINC01006 in PC.

[Expressions of stem cell factor and hypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha in pancreatic cancer cells and related mechanism].

Objective To study the correlation between the expressions of stem cell factor (SCF) and hypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) in pancreatic cancer, and investigate the mechanism by which SCF regulates the expression of HIF-1α. Methods Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expressions of SCF and HIF-1α in pancreatic cancer specimens and to analyze the correlation between SCF and HIF-1α expressions. Pancreatic cancer PANC-1 cells were treated with different doses of SCF (0, 1, 10, 100 ng/mL) alone or combined with c-KIT inhibitor Gleevec (5 μmol/L).
