Low-input redoxomics facilitates global identification of metabolic regulators of oxidative stress in the gut.

Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in organ aging and related diseases, yet the endogenous regulators involved remain largely unknown. This work highlights the importance of metabolic homeostasis in protecting against oxidative stress in the large intestine. By developing a low-input and user-friendly pipeline for the simultaneous profiling of five distinct cysteine (Cys) states, including free SH, total Cys oxidation (Sto), sulfenic acid (SOH), S-nitrosylation (SNO), and S-glutathionylation (SSG), we shed light on Cys redox modification stoichiometries and signaling with regional resolution in the aging gut of monkeys.

Effect analysis of radiofrequency catheter ablation in the treatment of 7 children with atrial tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy.

Background: Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy refers to changes in cardiac structure and function that result from rapid arrhythmia and can manifest as a continuous or recurrent event. Cardiomyopathy induced by atrial tachycardia is typically reversible if the arrhythmia is effectively controlled. There are few literature reports of atrial tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy in children, and fewer cases have been effectively treated by radiofrequency catheter ablation in children.

The Role and Mechanism of Deubiquitinase USP7 in Tumor-Associated Inflammation.

Deubiquitinating enzymes are a class of proteases that remove ubiquitin tags from proteins, thereby controlling protein stability and function. Tumor inflammation arises from interactions between tumor cells and their microenvironment, which trigger an inflammatory response. The deubiquitinating enzyme USP7 plays a central role in this process.

PTGS2/GRP78 Activation Triggers Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Leading to Lipid Metabolism Disruption and Cell Apoptosis, Exacerbating Damage in Bovine Mastitis.

Moisture-based green energy harvesting over 600 hours via photocatalysis-enhanced hydrovoltaic effect.

Harvesting the energy from the interaction between hygroscopic materials and atmospheric water can generate green and clean energy. However, the ion diffusion process of moisture-induced dissociation leads to the disappearance of the ion concentration gradient gradually, and there is still a lack of moisture-based power generation devices with truly continuous operation, especially the duration of the current output still needs to be extended. Here, we propose a design for reconstructing the ion concentration gradient by coupling photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction with hydrovoltaic effect, to report a moisture-enabled electric generator (MEG) with continuous current output.
