Background: Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a refractory disease that severely affects female fertility. The PERK/eIF-2α/ATF4/CHOP pathway is one of the classical pathways involved in the unfolded protein response to endoplasmic reticulum stress by regulating protein synthesis and promoting apoptosis. This study aimed to investigate the functional role and mechanism of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) in the POI animal model through the PERK/eIF-2α/ATF4/CHOP pathway.

Objective: Hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) is a leading cause of neonatal mortality, resulting in brain injury and persistent seizures that can last into the late neonatal period and beyond. Effective treatments and interventions for infants affected by hypoxia-ischemia remain lacking. Clinical investigations have indicated an elevation of nuclear factor of activated T cells 5 (NFAT5) in whole blood from umbilical cords of severely affected HIBD infants with epilepsy.

Neural stem cell (NSCs) transplantation is a promising therapeutic strategy for spinal cord injury (SCI), but its efficacy is greatly limited by the local inhibitory microenvironment. In this study, based on l-arginine (l-Arg)-loaded mesoporous hollow cerium oxide (AhCeO) nanospheres, we constructed an injectable composite hydrogel (AhCeO-Gel) with microenvironment modulation capability. AhCeO-Gel protected NSCs from oxidative damage by eliminating excess reactive oxygen species while continuously delivering Nitric Oxide to the lesion of SCI in a pathological microenvironment, the latter of which effectively promoted the neural differentiation of NSCs.

Ferroptosis, a non-apoptotic form of cell death characterized by the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and massive accumulation of lipid peroxidation (LPO), shows significant promise in cancer therapy. However, the overexpression of glutathione (GSH) at the tumor site and insufficient ROS often result in unsatisfactory therapeutic efficacy. A multistage, GSH-consuming, and ROS-providing carrier-free nanodrug capable of efficiently loading copper ions (Cu), sorafenib (SRF), and chlorogenic acid (CGA) (Cu-CGA-SRF, CCS-NDs) is developed to mediate enhanced ferroptosis therapy.

This study probes into the unique metabolic responses of (), a key player in the gut microbiota, when it metabolizes rhamnose rather than typical carbohydrates. Known for its predominant role in the Bacteroidetes phylum, efficiently breaks down poly- and mono-saccharides into beneficial short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), crucial for both host health and microbial ecology balance. Our research focused on how this bacterium's SCFA production differ when utilizing various monosaccharides, with an emphasis on the oxidative stress responses triggered by rhamnose consumption.
