Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is developed due to the development of insulin resistance (IR) and pancreatic β cell dysfunction with subsequent hyperglycaemia. Hyperglycaemia-induced oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress enhances inflammatory disorders, leading to further pancreatic β cell dysfunction. These changes trigger autophagy activation, which recycles cytoplasmic components and injured organelles. Autophagy regulates pancreatic β cell functions by different mechanisms. Though the exact role of autophagy in T2DM is not completely elucidated, that could be beneficial or detrimental. Therefore, this review aims to discuss the exact role of autophagy in the pathogenesis of T2DM.

Protein quality control (PQC) mechanisms including the ubiquitin (Ub)-proteasome system (UPS), autophagy, and chaperone-mediated refolding are essential to maintain protein homeostasis in cells. Recent studies show that these PQC mechanisms are further modulated by biomolecular condensates that sequester PQC components and compartmentalize reactions. Accumulating evidence points towards the PQC machinery playing a pivotal role in regulating the assembly, disassembly, and viscoelastic properties of several condensates.

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), a prevalent perfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS), is widely present in various environmental media, animals, and even human bodies. It primarily accumulates in the liver, contributing to the disruption of hepatic metabolic homeostasis. However, the precise mechanism underlying PFOS-induced hepatic glucolipid metabolic disorders remains elusive.

To investigate the role of silent information regulator 6 (SIRT6) in regulating podocyte injury in diabetic nephropathy (DN) through autophagy mediated by Notch signaling pathway. A blank control group (group A), a diabetic nephropathy group (group B), and a Sirt6 intervention group (group C) were established. The group A cells were human normal glomerular podocyte cell lines (HGPCs) without any treatment.

Background: Naringenin, a flavonoid compound found in citrus fruits, possesses valuable anticancer properties. However, its potential application in cancer treatment is limited by poor bioavailability and pharmacokinetics at tumor sites. To address this, Naringenin nanoparticles (NARNPs) were prepared using the emulsion diffusion technique and their anticancer effects were investigated in HepG2 cells.
