Wound healing is a very complex process, where variety of different pathways is activated, depending on the phase of healing. Improper or interrupted healing might result in development of chronic wounds. Therefore, novel approaches based on detailed knowledge of signalling pathways that are activated during acute or chronic cutaneous wound healing enables quicker and more effective healing. This review outlined new possibilities of cutaneous wound healing by modulation of some signalling molecules, e.g., gasotransmitters, or calcium. Special focus is given to gasotransmitters, since these bioactive signalling molecules that can freely diffuse into the cell and exert antioxidative effects. Calcium is an important booster of immune system and it can significantly contribute to healing process. Special interest is given to chronic wounds caused by diabetes mellitus and overcoming problems with the inflammation.

Burn wounds are challenging to treat due to considerable tissue damage and fluid loss. Creating wound dressings from natural and biological materials makes it possible to treat wounds and promote rapid epithelialization to speed healing and restore skin function. As a result, the ability of a collagen scaffold (Col) made from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and putative bioactive phytochemical components from a Sargassum glaucescens (S.

O-linked N-acetylglucosamine transferase (OGT)-catalyzed O-linked N-acetylglucosamine glycosylation (O-GlcNAcylation) is closely associated with diabetes progression. This study aims to investigate the mechanism of OGT in regulating endothelial dysfunction in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Expressions of OGT, O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc), enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), and HEK27me3 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and GDM-derived HUVECs (GDM-HUVECs) were assessed by western blot.

Background: Vascular Dementia (VaD) is the second most prevalent cause of dementia, arising from the blockage of blood vessels in the brain. One event responsible for the blockage or narrowing of small blood vessels is transient ischemic attack (TIA), and these changes resolve within 24 hours in humans. The molecular mechanism underlying these changes in recovery in small vessels still needs to be investigated.

Background: Amyloid-beta (Aβ) deposition is a key pathological characteristic of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Microglia serves as a crucial system responsible for clearing Aβ. Activated microglia migrate towards Aβ deposits, engulf them, and breakdown Aβ through cathepsins within the lysosome.

Background: We identified the missense variant Ser1038Cys (rs377155188) in the tetratricopeptide repeat domain 3 (TTC3) gene that segregate in a non-Hispanic white late onset Alzheimer disease (LOAD) family. This variant is predicted to be deleterious and extremely rare (MAF<0.01%).
