Understanding the interaction between nanomaterials and cellular structures is crucial for nanoparticle applications in biomedicine. We have identified a subtype of stress granules, called nanomaterial-provoked stress granules (NSGs), induced by gold nanorods (AuNRs). These NSGs differ from traditional SGs in their physical properties and biological functions.

Developing nanomedicines with enhanced activity to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) has emerged as a promising strategy for addressing ROS-associated diseases, such as drug-induced liver injury. However, designing nanozymes that not only remove ROS but also accelerate the repair of damaged liver cells remains challenging. Here, a two-pronged black phosphorus/Ceria nanozyme with mitochondria-targeting ability (TBP@CeO) is designed.

Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is widespread in the environment. It can impair sperm function through damaging the sperm development process. However, few studies have focused on the sperm tail that is directly related to sperm motility.

Adenosine serves as a critical homeostatic regulator, exerting influence over physiological and pathological conditions in the cardiovascular system. During cellular stress, increased extracellular adenosine levels have been implicated in conferring cardioprotective effects through the activation of adenosine receptors with the A adenosine receptor subtype showing the highest expression in the heart. A adenosine receptor stimulation inhibits adenylyl cyclase activity via heterotrimeric G proteins, leading to the activation of distinct downstream effectors involved in cardiovascular homeostasis.

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by protein aggregates mostly consisting of misfolded alpha-synuclein (αSyn). Progressive degeneration of midbrain dopaminergic neurons (mDANs) and nigrostriatal projections results in severe motor symptoms. While the preferential loss of mDANs has not been fully understood yet, the cell type-specific vulnerability has been linked to a unique intracellular milieu, influenced by dopamine metabolism, high demand for mitochondrial activity, and increased level of oxidative stress (OS).
