Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a chronic debilitating condition with no cure that shares commonality with long-COVID. This review examines current understanding of long-COVID symptoms, characteristics of the affected population, the connection with ME/CFS, and the potential for salubrinal, an agent known for its influence on cellular stress pathways, to mitigate these disorders It also describes the historical development and mechanism of action of salubrinal, to mitigate endoplasmic reticulum (ER)/cellular stress responses, that could potentially contribute to symptom improvement in both ME/CFS and long-COVID patients. Further research and clinical trials are warranted to advance our understanding of the potential role of salubrinal in improving the quality of life for individuals with long-COVID-related ME/CFS symptoms as well as ME/CFS patients.

T-2 toxin contamination in food and feed is a growing global concern, with its toxic effects on developing cartilage remaining poorly understood. In this study, we constructed an animal model using 4-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats, which were administered T-2 toxin (200 ng/g body weight per day) by gavage for one month. Histological analysis showed a significant reduction in hypertrophic chondrocytes and increased caspase-3 expression and TUNEL staining in the deep cartilage zone of T-2 toxin-treated rats.

Mounting evidence over the past decades has demonstrated the therapeutic potential of targeting endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress signaling in cancer. Naphthalimdes exert their anti-cancer activities in a variety of ways. However, the effects of naphthalimides on ER stress are rarely reported.

Unlabelled: Increasing evidence indicates that Calumenin (CALU), which is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum, is significantly associated with tumor progression. However, the effect of CALU on patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is unknown. By integrating multi-omics data and molecular biology experiments, we found that CALU expression was significantly increased in tumors compared with normal tissues, and the pathological grade and prognosis of patients were correlated with CALU expression.
