Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is characterized by fibrosis of nucleus pulposus (NP) cells and accelerated surrounding extracellular matrix catabolism. Bioactive hydrogels have shown significant potential in regulating cellular functions and tissue homeostasis. In this work, a dynamic hydrogel (HA-NCSN/Cu) is designed via the reductive chelation of hyaluronic acid grafted with thiourea (HA-NCSN) and Cu.

Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a complicated pathological cascade process of excessive pulmonary inflammation and alveolar epithelial cell apoptosis that results in respiratory dysfunction and failure. Some cases of ARDS can result in a more severe state of pulmonary fibrosis, referred to as postinjury lung fibrosis. The mortality and incidence rate of ARDS are high, particularly when it leads to continuing alveolar and interstitial fibrosis, which requires urgent treatment and appropriate management.

The surge in spinal cord injuries (SCI) attracted many neurobiologists to explore the underlying complex pathophysiology and to offer better therapeutic outcomes. The multimodal approaches to therapy in SCI have proven to be effective but to a limited extent. The clinical basics involve invasive procedures and limited therapeutic interventions, and most preclinical studies and formulations are yet to be translated due to numerous factors.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients have an unfavorable prognosis and disappointing treatment outcomes because of late diagnosis, high chemotherapy resistance, ineffective adjuvant chemotherapy, unavailable molecular targeted therapy, and profound immunosuppressive effects in the tumor microenvironment (TME). There are a variety of critical driver proteins, such as KRAS, TP53, PTEN and SMAD4, putatively involved in PDAC etiology. Current knowledge of their molecular mechanisms is still limited.

It is believed that some wavelengths of light penetrate through eggshell and are perceived by avian embryo, and may consequently affect rhythm establishment and development. This research aimed to explore the influence of prenatal light exposure on the morphological alterations of retinal tissue, the expression of visual developmental signaling systems (TGF-β/Smad pathway), the expression of clock related genes (cClock, cBmal1, cBmal2, cAanat), and melatonin concentration in the chicken embryonic retina.
