Two-dimensional cell membrane chromatography guided screening of myocardial protective compounds from Yindan Xinnaotong soft capsule.

Chin Med

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Natural Medicines, School of Traditional Chinese Pharmacy, China Pharmaceutical University, No. 639 Longmian Road, Nanjing, 211198, China.

Background: Cell membrane chromatography (CMC) is a biochromatography with a dual function of recognition and separation, offering a distinct advantage in screening bioactive compounds from Chinese medicines (CMs). Yindan Xinnaotong soft capsule (YD), a CM formulation, has been widely utilized in the treatment of cardiovascular disease. However, a comprehensive mapping of the myocardial protective active compounds remains elusive.

Transcriptomic predictors of rapid progression from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimers Res Ther

January 2025

Center for Healthy Longevity and Aging Sciences, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, No. 155, Sec. 2, Linong St., Beitou, Taipei, 112304, Taiwan.

Background: Effective treatment for Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains an unmet need. Thus, identifying patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) who are at high-risk of progressing to AD is crucial for early intervention.

Methods: Blood-based transcriptomics analyses were performed using a longitudinal study cohort to compare progressive MCI (P-MCI, n = 28), stable MCI (S-MCI, n = 39), and AD patients (n = 49).

Background: We aimed to assess the effects of body mass index (BMI), activities of daily living (ADL), and subjective well-being (SWB) on cognitive impairment and propose dynamic risk prediction models for aging cognitive decline.

Methods: We leveraged the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey from 1998 to 2018. Cognitive status was measured using the Chinese Mini-Mental State Examination.

Partial Cell Fate Transitions to Promote Cardiac Regeneration.

Cells

December 2024

Michael E. DeBakey Department of Surgery, Baylor College of Medicine, One Baylor Plaza, Houston, TX 77030, USA.

Heart disease, including myocardial infarction (MI), remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, necessitating the development of more effective regenerative therapies. Direct reprogramming of cardiomyocyte-like cells from resident fibroblasts offers a promising avenue for myocardial regeneration, but its efficiency and consistency in generating functional cardiomyocytes remain limited. Alternatively, reprogramming induced cardiac progenitor cells (iCPCs) could generate essential cardiac lineages, but existing methods often involve complex procedures.

CAR T-cell therapy has remarkably succeeded in treating lymphoblastic leukemia. However, its success in AML remains elusive due to the risk of on-target off-tumor toxicity to hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) and insufficient T-cell persistence and longevity. Using a SynNotch circuit, we generated a high-precision "IF-THEN" gated logical circuit against the combination of CD33 and CD123 AML antigens and demonstrated anti-tumor efficacy against AML cell lines and patient-derived xenografts.
