In vitro experiments with excessive and normal oxygenation of the culture medium showed unchanged oxygen consumption by mouse bone marrow cells under the influence of radioprotector indralin belonging to α1-adrenomimetics (100 μg/ml). After exhaustion of oxygen in the medium below 10 μM and progressive decrease in cellular respiration, indralin stimulated oxygen consumption by bone marrow cells by 1.5 times. The role of the observed effect of indralin in the realization of its radioprotective properties is discussed.

Sonodynamic therapy (SDT), which is non-invasive and controllable has the potential to treat triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, the hypoxia and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) often block the production of reactive oxygen species and the induction of SDT-activated immunogenic cell death, thus limiting the activation of adaptive immune responses. To alleviate these challenges, we proposed the development of a multifunctional biomimetic nanoplatform (mTSeIR), which was designed with diselenide-conjugated sonosensitizers and tirapazamine (TPZ), encapsulated within M1 macrophage membrane.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most prevalent cancer in men and the leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Recent studies have highlighted the pivotal role of glycolysis in tumor progression. This study aimed to investigate the involvement of the EDNRB gene and its ligand endothelin 3 (EDN3) in glycolysis in PCa and to elucidate its underlying molecular mechanism.

Mitochondrial dysfunction and increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation play an import role in different human pathologies. In this context, mitochondrial targeting of potentially protective antioxidants by their coupling to the lipophilic triphenylphosphonium cation (TPP) is widely applied. Employing a six‑carbon (C) linker, we recently demonstrated that mitochondria-targeted phenolic antioxidants derived from gallic acid (AntiOxBEN) and caffeic acid (AntiOxCIN) counterbalance oxidative stress in primary human skin fibroblasts by activating ROS-protective mechanisms.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a hematologic malignancy that presents a unique opportunity for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to demonstrate its distinctive value in treatment. Realgar, a component of TCM, has shown notable potential in alleviating clinical symptoms and improving the prognosis of MDS patients. However, the precise mechanisms underlying the treatment of MDS with realgar, particularly its effects on apoptosis-related pathways, remain poorly understood.

Among control methods for robotic exoskeletons, biologically inspired control based on central pattern generators (CPGs) offer a promising approach to generate natural and robust walking patterns. Compared to other approaches, like model-based and machine learning-based control, the biologically inspired control provides robustness to perturbations, requires less computational power, and does not need system models or large learning datasets. While it has shown effectiveness, a comprehensive evaluation of its user experience is lacking.
