January 2025

Chongqing Key Laboratory of Reproductive Health and Digital Medicine, Department of Laboratory Medicine, Chongqing General Hospital, School of Medicine, Chongqing University, Chongqing, 400044, People's Republic of China; College of Life Science and Laboratory Medicine, Kunming Medical University, Kunming, Yunnan, 650050, People's Republic of China. Electronic address:

Ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/RI) following myocardial infarction, a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, is characterized by detrimental oxidative stress and inflammation. In response, we proposed an I/RI alleviation strategy using the intravenous injection of spherical selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) synthesized by a template method. Single-cell sequencing revealed these proposed SeNPs exhibited exceptional antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, disrupting the STAT1-ROS cycle, therefore preserving mitochondrial respiration and inhibiting caspase-mediated cardiomyocyte apoptosis.
