SNX3 mediates heart failure by interacting with HMGB1 and subsequently facilitating its nuclear-cytoplasmic translocation.

Sorting nexins (SNXs) as the key regulators of sorting cargo proteins are involved in diverse diseases. SNXs can form the specific reverse vesicle transport complex (SNXs-retromer) with vacuolar protein sortings (VPSs) to sort and modulate recovery and degradation of cargo proteins. Our previous study has shown that SNX3-retromer promotes both STAT3 activation and nuclear translocation in cardiomyocytes, suggesting that SNX3 might be a critical regulator in the heart.

Hydrolysis of 2D Nanosheets Reverses Rheumatoid Arthritis Through Anti-Inflammation and Osteogenesis.

To explore the relationship between maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection and fetal LR asymmetry disorders.

Comprehensive Analysis of PANoptosis-Related Gene Signature of Ulcerative Colitis.

Accumulating evidence shows that the abnormal increase in the mortality of intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) caused by apoptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis is closely related to the function of mucous membrane immunity and barrier function in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). As a procedural death path that integrates the above-mentioned many deaths, the role of PANoptosis in UC has not been clarified. This study aims to explore the characterization of PANoptosis patterns and determine the potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

Catechol-Isolated Atomically Dispersed Nanocatalysts for Self-Motivated Cocatalytic Tumor Therapy.

Nanocatalytic tumor therapy based on Fenton nanocatalysts has attracted considerable attention because of its therapeutic specificity, enhanced outcomes, and high biocompatibility. Nevertheless, the rate-determining step in Fenton chemistry, which involves the transition of a high-valence metallic center (Fe ) to a Fenton-active low-valence metallic center (Fe ), has hindered advances in nanocatalyst-based therapeutics. In this study, we constructed mesoporous single iron atomic nanocatalysts (mSAFe NCs) by employing catechols from dopamine to coordinate and isolate single iron atoms.

Sorting nexin 3 exacerbates doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy regulation of TFRC-dependent ferroptosis.
