The kidney is a highly metabolic organ and requires a large amount of ATP to maintain its filtration-reabsorption function, and mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation serves as the main source of energy to meet its functional needs. Reduced and inefficient fatty acid β-oxidation is thought to be a major mechanism contributing to kidney diseases, including acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease and diabetic nephropathy. PPARα, AMPK, sirtuins, HIF-1, and TGF-β/SMAD3 activation have all been shown to play key roles in the regulation of fatty acid β-oxidation in kidney diseases, and restoration of fatty acid β-oxidation by modulation of these molecules can ameliorate the development of such diseases. Here, we disentangle the lipid metabolism regulation properties and potential mechanisms of mesenchymal stem cells and their extracellular vesicles, and emphasize the role of mesenchymal stem cells on lipid metabolism. This review aims to highlight the important role of fatty acid β-oxidation in the progression of kidney diseases, and to explore the fatty acid β-oxidation effects and therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stem cells for kidney diseases.

Outer space is an extreme environment and the survival of many microorganisms after spaceflight is well established. However, adaptations of Bacillus subtilis to space stress, particularly metabolism, are largely unknown. Here, we first performed a spaceflight mission of the B.

To distinguish pathogens from commensals, the intestinal epithelium employs cytosolic innate immune sensors. Activation of the NAIP-NLRC4 inflammasome initiates extrusion of infected intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) upon cytosolic bacterial sensing. We previously reported that activation of the inflammasome in tuft cells, which are primarily known for their role in parasitic infections, leads to the release of prostaglandin D2 (PGD2).

Objective: Individuals with autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) primarily exhibit deficits in communication and social interaction, along with repetitive behaviors and restricted interests. This disorder is often associated with anxiety, nociceptive disorders, and pain. While medical treatment generally focuses on treating the symptoms rather than addressing the underlying causes, traditional medicine is sometimes used as an alternative.
