Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a poorly reversible respiratory disorder distinguished by dyspnea, cough, expectoration and exacerbations due to abnormality of airways or emphysema. In this review, we consider the therapeutic potential of targeting Mammalian target of Rapamycin (mTOR) for treating COPD. The mTOR is a highly conserved serine-threonine protein kinase that integrates signals from growth factors and nutrients to control protein synthesis, lipid biogenesis and metabolism.

Deoxynivalenol (DON), a mycotoxin that severely contaminates agri-food products can cause hepatotoxicity. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of cell death, and the liver is an important organ for iron accumulation. 18beta-glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) has anti-ferroptosis and hepatoprotective effects.

N-methyladenosine (mA) modification and LncRNAs play crucial regulatory roles in various pathophysiological processes, yet roles of mA modification and the relationship between mA modification and LncRNAs in cadmium-induced oxidative damage of pancreatic β-cells have not been fully elucidated. In this study, mA agonist entacapone and inhibitor 3-deazadenosine were used to identify the effects of mA on cadmium-induced oxidative damage as well as LncRNA changes. Our results indicate that elevated levels of mA modification by entacapone can rescue the cell viability and attenuate the cell apoptosis, while the inhibition levels of mA modification can exacerbate the cell death.

Gene circuits, which are genetically engineered systems designed to regulate gene expression, are emerging as powerful tools in disease theranostics, especially in mammalian cells. This review explores the latest advances in the design and application of gene circuits for detecting and treating various diseases. Synthetic gene circuits, inspired by electronic systems, offer precise control over therapeutic gene activity, allowing for real-time, user-defined responses to pathological signals.
