It was still unclear that the correlation between the resting-state intrinsic activity in brain regions and facial emotion recognition (FER) ability in patients with first-episode schizophrenia (FSZ). Our aim was to analyse the correlation between the fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (fALFF) and FER ability in FSZ patients. A total of 28 patients with FSZ and 33 healthy controls (HCs) completed visual search tasks for FER ability. Regions of interest (ROIs) related to facial emotion were obtained from a previous meta-analysis. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to understand the correlation between fALFF and FER ability. Our results indicated that the patients performed worse than the HCs in the accuracy performances of happy FER and fearful FER. The previous meta-analysis results showed that the brain regions related to FER included the bilateral amygdala (AMY)/hippocampus (HIP), right fusiform gyrus (FFG), and right supplementary motor area (SMA). Partial correlation analysis showed that the fALFF of the right FFG was associated with high-load fearful FER accuracy (r = - 0.60, p = 0.004). Our study indicated that FER ability is correlated with resting-state intrinsic activity in brain regions related to facial emotion, which may provide a reference for the study of FER deficiency in schizophrenia.

Background: Nucleus pulposus (NP) degeneration represents a significant contributing factor in the pathogenesis of intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration (IVDD), and is a key underlying mechanism in several lumbar spine pathologies. Nevertheless, the precise mechanisms that govern NP degeneration remain unclear. A significant contributing factor to IVDD has been identified as ferroptosis.

Unlike apoptosis, necrosis and autophagy, ferroptosis is a novel type of regulated cell death, and the mechanism by which selenium nanoparticles induce ferroptosis in cancer cells has rarely been investigated. To investigate the mechanism of inhibition of HepG2 cell proliferation by fucoidan-selenium nanoparticles (FD-SeNPs) by inducing ferroptosis. The mechanism was explored by detecting ROS, MDA, GSH and Fe and utilizing TEM and Western blot assay.

It is important to systematically identify tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) to improve our understanding of tumorigenesis and develop strategies for early diagnosis and mitigating disease progression. In the present study, we used an in vivo genome-wide clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) screen and identified FPS/FES-related (FER) as a TSG. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) revealed that normal cells with low FER expression exhibited elevated malignant transformation potential and stemness properties.

Article Synopsis
- - Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by joint inflammation, and the role of ferroptosis (a type of cell death) in this condition is not fully understood.
- - The study examined the therapeutic effects of ferroptosis through experiments on RA patients' plasma, human synovial fibroblasts, and a collagen-induced arthritis model in rats, focusing on key proteins and health indicators.
- - Results showed that while ferroptosis activation helped reduce inflammation and arthritis symptoms in rats, the relationship between findings in animal models and human RA symptoms is complex and nonlinear.
