Astrocytes, constituting the predominant glial cells in the brain, undergo significant morphological and functional transformations amidst the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). A majority of these reactive astrocytes display a neurotoxic phenotype, intensifying inflammatory responses. Nonetheless, the molecular underpinnings steering neurotoxic astrocyte reactivity during PD progression remain mostly uncharted.

Lung cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounting for over 85 % of cases. Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common subtype of NSCLC, and while targeted therapies and immune checkpoint inhibitors have improved outcomes, many patients exhibit resistance, necessitating the development of novel treatments. This study explores the role of the SLC5A6 gene, which encodes a sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter critical for mitochondrial function, in LUAD progression.

Heart failure (HF) represents the terminal stage of cardiovascular diseases, with limited therapeutic options currently available. Calotropin (CAL), a cardenolide isolated from Calotropis gigantea, exhibits a similar chemical structure and inhibitory effect on Na+/K+-ATPase to digoxin, a positive inotropic drugs used in heart failure treatment. However, the specific effect of calotropin in ischemic HF (IHF) remains unknown.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases, yet effective treatment is lacking. Moreover, the underlying pathomechanisms of ALS remain unclear, with impaired mitophagy function being increasingly recognized as a contributing factor. FUN14 domain-containing protein 1 (FUNDC1) is an autophagy receptor localized to the outer mitochondrial membrane and a mitochondrial membrane protein that mediates mitophagy and therefore considered as important factor in neurodegenerative diseases.
